The latest Badge of Honor thriller, following LAST WITNESS. In Philadelphia - suffering among the country's highest murder rates - the tension between the Police Department and its Citizens Oversight Committee has long been reaching a boiling point. That turmoil turns from bad to worse shortly after the committee begins targeting police shootings - especially those of 27-year-old Homicide Sergeant Matt Payne, the "Wyatt Earp of the Main Line" - and then the committee's combative leader is found shot dead point-blank on his front porch.
