The Fearless and the Feared

In the summer of 1978, the Chicago mob is struggling. As an up-and coming cartel prepares to unleash a blizzard of cocaine and challenge the reeling Mafia for dominance of the second city streets, there is only one man who can stop them—Max Walsh, a thirty-something Vietnam veteran and narcotics detective with a bad drug habit.

When FBI agent and family friend Tom Callahan asks Max to keep an eye on his problematic, bombshell daughter who has just made the unfortunate mistake of falling for Tony Delvechio, the head of the cartel, Max goes undercover with the goal of removing Therese from Tony’s life and taking down the cartel in the process. But Max is about to get more than he bargained for. Instead of focusing on fighting his own demons, Max falls for Therese—before he discovers she has already married the crazy, blood thirsty creep.

In this intriguing story of drug deals, Mafia crime, and the seamy side of life gone wrong, a seasoned detective’s spontaneous choices are about to lead him down a very unpredictable and dangerous path.
