Tainted Justice

Sergeant James "Black Jack" Larson realizes he's holding a time bomb of crime and corruption. The names rolling out of murdered IAD Sergeant Tony Rizzo's "lost" files aren't street level thugs. These are high profile men and women in the community, but Larson's never backed down from those who believe they are above the law.From past experience Black Jack is aware he can't drop the bomb he's holding in the laps of just anyone. This is something that will require only the most trusted of law enforcement officers in his circle. He cautiously begins assembling a very secret squad of police officers from the ranks within his own department, the FBI, city and state police. All chosen, willingly place their careers, reputations and lives on the line to take down drug kingpins and those connected to a child sex trafficking ring. They realize one wrong word or action could destroy the case they are slowly building and terminate all hope of bringing down a criminal empire.Larson and his closest friends, Officer Rico Leamon and Lieutenant Al Crane walk a tight rope, mixing their covert investigation with their daily assigned duties. Within their world of double duty, they can't forget their personal lives and relationships. Yet, some of the political schmoozing required of Larson and Crane at fund-raisers provides some comic relief to help ease tensions. Morale on the squad, known as The Hounds From Hell is high, and soon reaches a fever pitch when they secretly begin SWAT training. Adding to their self-confidence is the war they are waging and winning against many in the criminal element. From car thieves to drug dealers, peeping toms and stalkers, they are taking the fight to them and even begin betting who among them will make the first arrest of the day.As time passes tragedy strikes with the execution style killing of two police officers and a husband and wife who were anticipating a bright and happy future.
