Summary:

Truit Hickman is a small-time crook doing life in California’s
notoriously brutal Corcoran State Prison for the murder of his
mother. He admitted to the crime, but now Hickman claims his
confession was coerced by the cops. A beautiful Internal Affairs
detective, Secada “Scout” Llevar, asks Shane to help investigate, and
he agrees after learning the original homicide detective was Brian
Devine, a ruthless cop with whom Scully has a bad history.What begins
as a routine review quickly turns into something much more deadly.
The case is abruptly shut down by an LAPD deputy chief, and Shane
begins to suspect that for unknown reasons Hickman really may have
been framed by the police. But some things, once started, cannot be
stopped, and the investigation spirals dangerously out of control,
implicating a violent Hispanic gang, a millionaire power broker, and
the front-runner in the Los Angeles mayoral race.Meanwhile, Shane and
Alexa struggle to save their marriage, which has come perilously
close to disintegration since Alexa’s near-fatal shooting in White
Sister - just as Shane finds himself attracted to his new partner.
Could the answer to their marital troubles be tied to the case he’s
investigating? In Cannell’s heart-pounding thriller, Shane is tried
in ways he has never been, risking his family, his job, and his life.
