Synopsis: Two Chicago cops need to defuse an explosive situation in this &“tightly plotted&” police procedural (Chicago Tribune). After killing his wife and her lover, an unhinged and heavily armed Chicago cop named Bernie Shepard barricades himself at the top of a high-rise apartment building and sends a message to the police: meet his demands, or he&’ll detonate enough explosives to blow the whole block sky high. If it&’s a choice between chewing the fat at his brother Maish&’s deli or hunting down armed lunatics, world-weary veteran cop Abe Lieberman knows where he stands. But no one&’s giving him a choice. It&’s up to Lieberman and his longtime partner, Bill Hanrahan—aka the Rabbi and Father Murphy—to play Bernie&’s game, betting their lives on a madman&’s whim. With a crazed cop holding &“enough explosives to blow the North Side of Chicago to kingdom come . . . Kaminsky mines plenty of suspense&” (The New York Times Book Review).
