From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List):
A horrific mass murder invades the lives of victims and victimizers on both sides of the law - three cops treading quicksand in the middle.

Detective Ed Exley wants glory. Haunted by his father's success as a policeman, he will pay any price, break any law to eclipse him.

Detective Bud White watched his own father murder his mother - he is now bent on random vengeance, a time bomb with a badge.

Celebrity cop Jack Vincennes shakes down movie stars for a scandal magazine. An old secret possesses him - he'll do anything to keep it buried.
