Fence Jumpers Book

As adults, Dante O'Donnell followed his dead father into the police force; Jimmy Burns, closer than a blood brother, went along. JoJo Paradiso's future was foreordained: He would be, first, an underboss in his father's crime family, eventually stepping into Salvator Paradiso's shoes. So Jojo is now a criminal who walks the Queens streets freely and doesn't worry about the law. When Detectives O'Donnell and Burns are assigned to get the goods on Jojo Paradiso, it can't be a simple matter of cop against crook. In their world, there is no black and white - only gray. There are tearing conflicts, greed, a choice among betrayals. And there are secrets that, once out, could rip apart the friendship that since boyhood has been vital to the existence of both Dante and Jimmy.

As kids, they took on New York's mean streets. As men, they're on opposite sides of the law. Dante O'Donnell and Jimmmy Burns took up the oath, the badge and the gun of the police force. Jo Jo Paradiso took a different path as a rising player in the Paradiso crime family. Today the three friends are trapped in an ever-more-vicious game of betrayal--one that threatens to break much more than the bonds of their youth. Martin's Press.
