The Coterie, an alliance of ‘old school’ cops, finds that one of their own, Willie “Big Will” Williams, has been chosen to be the next Police Commissioner. As one of the few remaining Coterie members not yet retired, he is thrust into a position of balancing politics with justice when a protester is killed in front of City Hall. The incident leaves probationary police officer, Eli Washington, in a perilous predicament– the termination of his career, at best– or charged with murder, at worst. The young rookie finds support from the Police Commissioner, who is seeking fairness as well as justice. As a probationary officer, Eli has no way to defend himself from the accusation and could be terminated for little or no reason at all. Commissioner Williams, forced to take a neutral stand, elicits the aid of the Coterie to derail the political effort to make Eli the patsy. Harry Doyle takes the lead for the eclectic collection of sleuths. Their investigation starts on the steps of City Hall and leads to deep within. Corruption and murder seem to be one of the foundations of the Administration. And it all goes back to the beginning as a cold case unfolds to reveal the darkest of City Hall Secrets.
