Ash Rashid stands alone. A 12-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, and one of the few Muslim-Americans on the force, he's unafraid of bending the rules in the pursuit of justice.

Ash launches an inquiry and quickly becomes entangled in a case involving a dangerous mix of election-year politics, crime, and street justice. If Ash doesn't solve the murder soon, his hit-and-run victim may not be the only one to die...
