Murderous yuppies willing to kill for restorable buildings? Who'd believe it? Tough, persevering, Hoboken detective Hunter Murtaugh would." The Anniston Star
It's 1987. Young Manhattan professionals with big bank accounts are gentrifying old, waterfront Hoboken for their new homes, forcing the locals out, literally and financially. So when two old women are killed in their apartments, freeing up their real estate, hard-drinking Hoboken detective Hunter Murtaugh, who is being pushed off the police force, refuses to believe the party-line that gang members are to blame. Murtaugh sees a bigger picture. His tenacious investigation could end his career... and his life.
