If thereβs one kind of person Tank Rizzo hates most in this world, itβs a dirty cop. Criminals are at least honest about being dishonest; dirty cops are a disgrace to the badge they carry. Detective Eddie Kenwood is one such disgrace. Heβs got the highest signed-confession rate in the NYPD and a distinguished career built on putting men behind barsβwhether theyβre guilty or not doesnβt matter much to him. When Tankβs partner, Pearl, tells him about an old family friend Kenwood put in jail for a murder he didnβt commit, Tank and Pearl vow to take Kenwood down.
Also in need of a takedown: the money-laundering accounting firm where Tankβs brother used to workβbefore he mysteriously died, leaving Tank the sole guardian of his nephew, Chris. Chris smells a rat, and enlists Tankβs help to bring the men who had his father killed to justice.
Working two big cases means getting out the big guns, and Tank assembles his A-team. With help from a retired mobster, a professional boxer, a Chelsea psychic, a dog named Gus, and the U.S. Attorneyβnot to mention his and Pearlβs own quick wits and Chrisβs burgeoning skills as a computer whizβTank gears up to take on his most dangerous and personal cases to date.
