Covenant

by George Sheridan

It should have been an easy job: follow cheating husband Larry Ivers and catch him with his mistress. But there's never any such thing as an "easy job."

Homicide-detective-turned-private-eye Ken McGreevey takes the case anyway. After his medical discharge from the Pinal County Sheriff's Department in Arizona, he's got time on his hands.

When Eastern European gangsters, led by the giant Croatian who helped cripple him, attack Ivers' would-be ex-wife, McGreevey and his team are plunged into the middle of a human trafficking scam Ivers is pulling for both the Russian and Mexican mobs.

McGreevey's always done the right thing, but this case cannot be played by the rules. There are no easy choices, and all have dire consequences for his complicated love life, the troubled teen he's mentoring and the three departments' worth of cops on his back.

And then... he must bring justice to the helpless trapped by the men who see them as less than slaves.
