Only Detective Michael Bennett stands in the way of two lethal cartels fighting for New York City´s multi-million-dollar opioid trade. And they know where he and his family live. An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup. An officer is taken down -- and, despite the attackers´ efforts, it´s not Michael Bennett. New York´s top cop is not the only one at risk. One of Bennett´s children sustains a mysterious injury. And a series of murders follows, each with a distinct signature, alerting Bennett to the presence of a professional killer with a flair for disguise. Bennett taps his best investigators and sources, and they fan out across the five boroughs. But the leads they´re chasing turn out to be phantoms. The assassin takes advantage of the chaos, enticing an officer into compromising Bennett, then luring another member of Bennett´s family into even graver danger. Michael Bennett can´t tell what´s driving the assassin. But he can tell it´s personal, and that it´s part of something huge. Through twist after twist, he fights to understand exactly how he fits into the killer´s plan, before he becomes the ultimate victim.
