Blood was all over the city, and every cop in Niagara Falls was scrambling to clean it up. It was relentless and vile, and no one knew where it came from, or why this was happening... except two women who had been thrown together by the ultimate blood crime. The huge political and criminal forces Angela and Susan faced couldn't be fought against; couldn't even be run away from. The only chance they had was to trust one cop who they knew to be real: Kevin Larsen. What a treacherous position Kevin was leaving himself in. He'd threatened a band of drug dealers, and was now about to alienate himself from the cops who would side with him against those dealers. Inside himself, though, he had no choice; his entire being reared up against the idea of allowing either Angela or Susan to be threatened. To save the one, he'd become the protective father she wished he truly was. To save the other, he'd allow his long-frozen soul to melt into hers. For both, he would go far above and beyond the call of duty to ensure they were made free.
