description: Washington, D.C., where our true history is made in the shadows. The corrupt and violent presidency of Richard Nixon. A country at war with itself. An era that crystallized around a third-rate burglary called Watergate.An era that slams into three good Police Officer John Quinn-obsessed by the murder of one woman, seeking redemption through the love of another. Marine officer Nathan Holloway-haunted by the honor and horrors of the war grinding through Vietnam. Senate aide Vaughn Conner-an idealist prosecuting the sins of a president only to have his own sins make him a target of evils he never imagined.These men collide with a swirl of history so fantastic that its truths read like fiction; and there, in that netherworld between flesh and fantasy, City of Shadows blasts a .45 slug of what-if with its pulse-pounding, action-driven saga of good and evil, tragedy and triumph.
