About this item

Investigative reporter Carter Ross finds himself with gruesome front-page news four bodies in a vacant lot, each with a single bullet hole in the back of the head. In a haste to calm residents, local police leak a story to Carters colleagues at the Newark Eagle-Examiner, calling the murders revenge for a bar stickup. But while Carter may not come from the streets, he knows a few things about Newarks ghettos. And he knows the story the police are pushing doesnt make sense. He enlists the aide of Tina Thompson, the papers smoking hot city editor, to run interference for him at the office Tommy Hernandez, the papers gay Cuban intern, to help him with legwork on the street and Tynesha Dales, a local stripper, to take him to Newarks underside. Soon, Carter learns the four victims have one connection after all, and knowing this will put him in the path of one very ambitious killer.
