"In the world of cops, drive-by killing don't rank high on the popularity charts. They're usually opportunistic, and barring credible witnesses, they largely go unsolved. So when Father Robert O'Brien, a popular Washington priest with high public profile, is murdered in a drive-by shooting, D.C. police aren't beating down dooes to get the case. Homicide detectives Frank Kearney and Jose Phelps have been members of the force for twenty-five years, partners from the start."--Jacket.
