William J. Caunitz
Author of EXCEPTIONAL CLEARANCE
Even cynical New York City is rocked by the brutal murder of Congresswoman Cora Davis. Lt. Joe Dante's only suspect are the last two people to see Davis alive: the lead singer in the rock megaband Crucifixion and the wife of a right-wing Southern senator. As Dante is caught up in a tangle of hypocrisy and intrigue, angry NYPD brass are breathing down his neck, and he's up to his chin in blackmail, sex scandals, cover-ups and new bodies. If he doesn't crack this case, his badge is on the line--but trapping his vicious prey means putting himself in the line of fire....

Detective Joe Dante lives in a downtown loft and hangs with an uptown crowd. A cop who doesn't act, talk, or play like other cops, Dante's got Brooklyn-bred street smarts and a half-finished Ph.D. dissertation on his bookshelf. But when a man is struck down by a car outside a posh Manhattan hotel, Dante is plunged into a world like no other he's ever seen.
The victim was a corporate executive. The killer was a hit-and-run driver. And when Dante and his team investigate the accident, they find a billion-dollar stock-market deal and the tracks of a Wall Street financier gone missing from his Sutton Place co-op.
Now Dante is putting together the jagged pieces of a puzzle of sex, money, ambition, and high-tech fraud. It's a hunt that will take him from the pinnacle of high finance to Manhattan's meanest streets. Because Detective Joe Dante is chasing a man who has a thirty-eight-million-dollar motive for murder--multiple murder--and the cunning to get away wit

An electrifying new thriller from The New York Times bestselling author, one of the originators of the big-city police novel
William J. Caunitz, the author of such classics as One Police Plaza and Exceptional Clearance, is back in bestselling form with his latest New York City cop thriller, Chains of Command. When a young police officer is shot and killed in his girlfriend's apartment in Washington Heights, investigators suspect that he had been taking money from the Dominican drug gangs that rule the neighborhood. An ambitious female deputy police commissioner and a daring detective lieutenant go up against the forces of greed, rivalry, and long-buried secrets to protect the ones they love and solve the crime of their careers. These two cops are the best of the true blue, brave, and loyal.
* Caunitz's first four novels were New York Times bestsellers
* Cleopatra Gold was a New York Times Notable Book in 1993
"He knows more about cops and what moves them [than] Joseph Wambaugh or George V. Higgins. Its special strength is its carefully exacting depiction of what the working life of a big-city police department really is like."--The New York Times Book Review (on One Police Plaza)

In 1963, a beautiful young girl dies in the middle of an abortion on a cold table in a motel room. The cover-up is quick, quiet and -- for almost thirty years -- worth every penny. Now it's 1991. At the dawn of a presidential campaign, the old secret suddenly surfaces. To one man it means enormous profit. To a second man it means a lethal mystery. When the stakes are high, there are no loyalties and no rules -- even for top-level U.S. government agents. Especially for them.
