The Chicago Outfit has corrupted unions, casinos, waste haulers, City Council Committeemen, and even some cops, but Lieutenant Ed Slate cannot recall a judge being implicated. Now, heading Robbery/Homicide's fifty-four detectives on Chicago's north side, he wonders whose payroll His Honor, W.C. Hayes, is really on. His gut tells him that Hayes is dirty! There will be risks to his career, his life, and even the lives of his family. But his passion for justice, and perhaps a hidden compulsion to prove himself, motivates the former Marine. So damn the risks, he'll make the case!
