An explosion on the ship Normandie marks Woodrow Cain's arrival
in New York City. Only months after Pearl Harbour the city reeks of paranoia
and Cain, a southerner taking up a detective's position in the 14th precinct is
having to go along with the culture of corruption in his new precinct just in
order to work cases.
Cain's first case is that of a dead
immigrant dock worker which brings him to the attention of Max Danzigger.
Danzigger, who provides a letter writing service for the local mainly
illiterate immigrant population has some information that ties in with Cain's
case. Information is Danzigger's currency, is it also the thing that could get
him and Cain killed if they can't quickly learn to trust each other. As the two
begin working together they have no idea what kind of unholy alliances they are
about to uncover.
