A quiet fear grips the police as one by one -- And sometimes by twos -- Cops are gunned down on the street with no apparent motive. Even so, furillo's attention is focused on the ongoing but tight-Lipped departmental probe into what seems to be a widespread network of cops on the take -- And no one is necessarily considered innocent. Furillo is confronted by a persistent goldblume concerning the captain's subtle resentment over the lieutenant's new romance with his ex-Wife, fay. Meanwhile, furillo and joyce (His current wife) go househunting, but she reveals a regrettable secret that may change their lives forever.
