Description
From the station-houses to the joy-houses, they knew about Mike Carmody. He was the best cop money could buy. And when the Syndicate boys said jump, Carmody knew just how high. But they couldn't buy Carmody's kid brother Eddie. And when Eddie turned against them, the Mob snuffed him out like a nickel cigar. Now Carmody's coming after them. Savage. Bloodthirsty. He's stalking them down the city's darkened back alleys ... and straight into hell.Tags

Very well written noir about a corrupt cop trying to keep his brother, an honest cop, from getting killed before he can testify against a mob killer. Tough and unsparing, though it gets slightly preachy toward the end, particularly in the form of a speech-making district attorney. Set in Philadelphia, but it could be any large city. Despite the violence, the most important action takes place inside the "rogue" cop's head.
