Crackdown: Restored (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218880798)

When a disgraced narcotics cop gets one last shot at redemption, he discovers that the war on drugs has become something far more deadly.

Santana "Sonny" Jaxon thought his career was over when addiction destroyed everything he had and sent him into exile. Now the 75th Precinct is calling him back to South Freeland's blood-soaked streets, where a new narcotic called Wrath is turning abusers into monsters and leaving a trail of bodies that defies explanation.

Partnered with his former best friend-a homicide detective-Sonny must navigate a web of corruption that reaches from street corners to the precinct's highest ranks. Captain Gale Swanson offers him a badge and a chance to rebuild his life, but her true motives remain hidden behind cigarette smoke and political ambition. Federal Agent Rick Close promises backup, but his real agenda involves secrets Sonny isn't ready to face.

As Wrath spreads through South Freeland like a plague, Sonny realizes this isn't just about drugs-it's about power, control, and a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart everything he once swore to protect. The deeper he digs, the more dangerous his enemies become, including a vengeful ex-con known as "The Vandal," who's been waiting years for payback.

In a city where trust is a luxury and survival means choosing between bad and worse, Sonny must decide how far he's willing to fall to rise again. Because in South Freeland, the line between cop and criminal isn't just blurred-it's written in blood.

Some cases change you. Some cases break you. This one might do both.
