A veteran homicide cop believes that at least one of two African American brothers charged with murder and drug possession is innocent, and his investigation thrusts him into a harrowing inner city landscape.

From The Critics
Playboy
Price propels each scene with vivid dialogue that crackles with realism.

People
Price displays a near perfect ear for street language . . . He gets so deep under the skin of both the cops and the clockers that it's hard to believe he himself has never been either.
