A prayer for my daughter

"One a.m. on a steamy summer night. A grubby police office in downtown New York City. Two cops and two crooks battle with wits and fists to uncover the truth about a murder. Sean is back from Vietnam and unable to find his way. Jimmy has the look of a choirboy, but the attitude of a punk. Jack can't get through the shift without a fix. And Kelly's daughter is on the end of the phone with a gun to her temple."--Back cover.
