Dante's back but he's not an agent anymore. Working undercover as a confidential informant for the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, he is sent to New York on loan to the New York City Police Department to help solve the theft of a million dollars worth of contraband drug evidence from the Department's Property Clerk's Office. Teamed with detectives from a highly sensitive and secret unit working directly for the Police Commissioner, Dante must face Mafia gangsters and crooked detectives bent on preventing him from uncovering the truth. Murder and mayhem dog his tracks while he pursues the deadly ring responsible for the daring and outlandish crime. To complicate his life, he falls in love with Clara, a beautiful but hard-boiled female detective, assigned to his back-up team. She must decide whether to become romantically involved with Dante while aware of his checkered past and lone-wolf personality. Dante's peril increases, placing the team with whom he works in danger, when an unknown insider within the department threatens to reveal his identity. Broken Force, the sequel to the novel, Blue Heat, is a no-holds-barred suspense thriller, which exposes the constant struggle to rid law enforcement of those whose greed undermines the effort to stem the flow of illicit narcotics into the nation's big cities. A page-turner from beginning to end, with unexpected twist and turns, Broken Force continues the exploits of Dante Falconieri, a once and future infiltrator of criminal conspiracies.
