Tarnished blue : a novel

William. Heffernan

The cruel murder of NYPD Captain Joe "Little Bat" Battaglia of the Organized Crime Control Unit causes waves of alarm to sweep from the mayor's office to the patrolmen's locker room. The murdered captain, who may have been gay, is the son of former cop Tony "Big Bat" Battaglia, now a United States senator. Luckily Heffernan's (Blood Rose) investigator, Paul Devlin is inspector of detectives. Devlin works directly for the mayor of New York City and has the power and authority to cut through the politics, the cover-ups and the lies in order to find out why "Little Bat" was killed.
