Seattle attorney Camille Delaney is cash-strapped and struggling to balance the demands of her new solo legal practice with raising her three daughters. But when an emergency C-section goes wrong and a baby dies in the delivery room, the mother, Helene Anderson, shows up at Camille’s office asking for help. Facing the challenge of a legal system where child-loss verdicts are limited by the dollar value placed on a child’s life, Camille considers a quick settlement for the family. But Helene insists: her child’s life had value, and Camille needs to prove it in court.

The murder scene looks depressingly ordinary at first: a home-invasion shooting of a real-estate agent. But Detective Erin O'Reilly has a nose for trouble, and this case smells all wrong. It's bad enough that the victim is tied to several sleazy property deals, but the worst of it is the sole witness to the crime: the dead man's girlfriend is Lieutenant Webb's ex-wife.

A pleasant Sunday dinner at an Italian restaurant takes a nasty turn for Detective Erin O’Reilly when the waiter slits the throat of a long-time patron. It’s an open-and-shut case, but this murder is only the beginning. All across New York, captains in the Lucarelli Mafia family are being picked off in a series of carefully-orchestrated hits.

Teresa Tommasino has always avoided trouble. Never married, shes gone through life quietly, content to be a Brooklyn schoolteacher. She knows the Mafia run her neighborhood, but as long as she keeps her head down, she figures shell be safe. But trouble has a way of slipping into even the most peaceful life. After witnessing a terrible crime, Teresa is drawn into a world of gangsters, fear, and deception. With a contract out on her life, she agrees to a desperate plan: a car bomb, a faked death, and an escape from New York.

Ask any cop: domestic disturbances are the worst. Family squabbles are ugly, emotional, vicious fights that can turn deadly in a heartbeat. And when the family you’re talking about is the Mafia, you’d better be ready for anything. The Lucarelli Family’s new boss is consolidating his grip on the Mob. But not everyone is happy with Vinnie the Oil Man’s leadership. A routine trip to court lands Detective Erin O’Reilly in the line of fire when gangsters start shooting right on the courthouse steps.

A night you can’t remember was either a really good night or a really bad one.

But it turns out New York had a worse night than she did. A power outage in a city is a dangerous thing, between looting, traffic accidents, and interrupted emergency services. Somebody has tampered with Manhattan’s power grid, plunging the city into darkness. Is it a reckless prank gone wrong? Or something much worse?
