Homicide sergeant Matthew Payne is used to murder, but lately there's been an awful lot of it in Philadelphia. A gangland shooting in a popular tourist location leaves two dead and many others injured; a motel room blows up, killing two and severely injuring two more; and the body of a headless Latina turns up in the Schuylkill River. Everybody assumes the deaths are not related, but Payne can't shake the hunch that there's something more to it-and that hunch leads his thoughts far from the City of Brotherly Love, to the Texas--Mexico border, in the person of a long, lean Texas Ranger who's come to Philadelphia tracking a particularly nasty murderer with Mexican cartel connections. With the body count rising, the odd couple of the Philadelphia cop and the Texas lawman race to find the gang and make them pay for it.

This book is part of W. E. B. Griffin's "Badge of Honor" series about the Philadelphia Police Department. Like Griffin's other series, "Badge of Honor" contains some memorable characters. In this series, the principle character is Matthew Payne, who graduates from the University of Pennsylvania, then joins the Philadelphia Police Department, following in the footsteps of his birth father and uncle, both of whom were killed in the line of duty. The series follows Payne and his cohorts through several complex cases, as Payne rises from recruit to sergeant (thus far). The narrative follows the typical Griffin format, which should be familiar to any reader of Griffin's other series on Special Operations, the Marine Corps, the OSS, and the beginnings of the CIA. The reader will recognize many of the characters, by type, from these other series. There are enough plot twists to keep the books from becoming predictable.
