From the bestselling author of Sleepers and former Writer/producer of Law & order comes another high-octane New York City crime drama pulsing with energy. In Lorenzo Carcaterra's Chasers, the street-smart and highly specialized cadre of renegade NYPD cops last depicted in his acclaimed novel Apaches returns in a new tale of action and suspense.

It's 1985, and the city that never sleeps is about to wish it had stayed in bed. The heinous machine-gun murder of innocent bystanders in a Manhattan restau-rant shocks all five boroughs. The brutal slaying propels the surviving members of the Apaches-controversial, take-‘en-down, outside-the-law ex-cops-into investi-gating a Colombian drug cartel responsible for distributing millions of kilos of cocaine on American shores.

Along for the harrowing ride with Boomer, Dead-Eye, and Rev. Jim are three new Apaches: Ash, a wounded female Hispanic cop who specializes in arson investigations; Quincy, an HIV-positive recruit who's forensics expert; and a retired police dog named Buttercup, a Neapolitan bullmastiff who is no ordinary animal but a gold-shield detective, highly decorated for her skills at sniffing out illegal drugs. Now this dedicated team will become chasers, working multiple cases that will converge into one explosive, all-out street war.

They will face a gallery of formidable enemies: Robles, a mysterious and deadly assassin; the Boiler Man, a killer as ruthless as is cunning; Angel, a former priest turned cartel boss, determined to end his career as the richest drug baron in the world; and the G-Men-a band of dealers and doers determined to maintain their iron grip iron grip on the cocaine trade, no matter how much blood is spilled.

Fueled by Lorenzo Carcaterra's adrenaline-rush prose and peopled with uncommon heroes and merci-less crime lords tearing through city streets, Chasers proves to be this acclaimed author's most intense novel to date.
