The San Diego Union said "No one writes the police - thriller better than Robert Daley." They were right, this is a hell of a read. The former NYPD deputy commissioner gives his novels authentic procedures and characters. Tainted Evidence focuses on NY Assistant DA Karen Henning, a women about to find her ambitions at war with her principles and her loyalties torn by her passions. When a desperate, drug dealing murder suspect guns down five cops in a Harlem police raid gone wrong, the city's long simmering racial unrest explodes in uncontrollable turmoil, both in the courtroom and on the street. Caught in the middle, Henning is tempted to break her own personal taboo. She falls in love with her star witness - amd the storm it unleashes can shatter her life, and even the system she has tried so hard to defend."
