A Shane Scully Novel
by Stephen J. Cannell
Shane is no stranger to big trouble, but hes never had to face being a cop in jail with a hit out on him, while being smeared by urban activists as a racist cop. Much, much worse than all that is the potential death of his beloved wife, Alexa. In the White Sister, he may have met his match in a powerful and media-savvy enemy who will stop at nothing to forge her own criminal empire.
"Cannell's hard-boiled, if at times over-rehearsed prose is well suited to his subject matter, though some readers may have trouble with his hero's tendency to suddenly shift character from tough guy to touchy-feely 21st-century man." - Publishers Weekly.
"More mindless action .... Hip-hop, slam-bang, slap-dash." - Kirkus Reviews.
