The Witness

She's the only one who saw what really happened, but this cop doesn't plan to play by the rules . . .

Detective First-Grade Christie Opara, the newest addition to the district attorney's Special Investigation Squad, has just gotten her first assignment: to tail her boss's daughter. As soon as she sees the police barricades and seething civil rights demonstrators, Christie knows a riot is about to explode. As things spiral out of control, a solid mass of blue uniforms bears down on the mob. Minutes later, a young black activist is dead, apparently killed by a cop. But Christie saw a different shooter. With the public demanding blood and law enforcement scrambling to contain the fallout, Christie must go "mano a mano" against a cunning killer. But another meticulously planned crime is about to go down, one that will send the city — and the NYPD — reeling. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy Uhnak including rare images from the author's estate.
