Blood Money
Tom Bradby Audio Book

New York, 1929. Joe Quinn has been given a shot at the NYPD’s main headquarters squad and his first case is one that could put his name up in lights: a banker takes a dive from a tall building on to Wall Street. All the signs point to murder. Soon the dead man has company; a group of old buddies is being taken out, in a particularly gruesome manner. The men have connections to Lucky Luciano and other major players in organized crime. Their leader, whose true identity remains a secret, is known simply as ‘The Bag Man’, once the name given to a top cop on the take.

The days of such naked corruption are supposed to be over, but nothing in Manhattan is that simple. For Quinn, the case swiftly becomes a nightmare from which he cannot escape. The path seems to lead inexorably towards his own father, once New York’s foremost celebrity cop. And at the heart of the investigation lies a woman whose love he has fought to deny for many years. Joe Quinn is about to discover just how tough being an honest cop in a dishonest world can be.
