The last time former Green Beret Will Kane was involved in killing someone it made the cover of LIFE Magazine.

Eight years later he's getting pushed to the edge of that precipice he vowed never to go over again.

New York City, summer 1977. The Bronx is burning. The twin towers of the new World Trade Center loom over the skyline. Son of Sam. Star Wars. Studio 54. The Five Families. The city faces bankruptcy and unrest seethes.

On the dark streets of a city the rest of the country believes is going down the toilet, Vietnam vet Kane's life mirrors his hometown.

Carrying a past cratered with death and tragedy, Kane has been working as a 'fixer' for a high-priced lawyer since returning to New York in disgrace. But is he really fixing anything?

It begins when he takes a compromising picture as part of the job. As the long hot summer boils, so does Kane as the mob, the CIA, the IRA and other forces are brought to bear on him. What they all seem to have forgotten, and Kane wishes he could, is that he is a highly trained and experienced warrior.
A skilled killer.

What should a good man do when faced with evil that the law can't touch?

Kane faces threats, betrayal and shadows from his past, and then, on 13 July 1977, the Blackout occurs and Kane explodes.

For fans of the Green Beret series of books, Dave Riley makes an appearance as Will Kane's 17 year old cousin.

Let me give you some information about me. When I was four, I was given the gift of intelligence because I read a lot of high school books, college books, and old history literature books. My parents thought nothing of it until my elementary school district noticed how advanced I was so they decided for me to skip elementary school and middle school and head into high school when I was six years old. My mother was shocked about it and wanted me to do however my father didn't think I should due to me being too young. That was one thing that my father disapprove. Skip 4 years and I was about to finish high school so I could get into a one of the colleges I applied but I still had a bad relationship with my dad. Mostly because of my little sister, Melissa who is two years younger than me. She would tell my dad lies and me and him would argue constantly. But one day, everything went bad. Melissa told dad some lies that got him more upset with me and we started to argue. I said something that no parent would want to hear and he slapped me. Hard. Want to know the worst part?

Once I woke up from the coma, the doctors brought in a middle age woman and a police officer. The woman was from Child Protective Services.
