Description: Arnold Kelleher was a hero...
A hero who would brutally kidnap a small child...
A hero who would make dirty deals with corrupt city politicians...
A hero who would rape an innocent girl...
He was the hero of ginks and goons and ward-heelers--the hero of everyone...
except Tod Mullen, his political boss, who pulled the strings that made him dance...
except Steve Rome,a reporter bent on wiping out jungle law in a graft-ridden city.

But no man can dispute the power of a hero.

And when Steve Rome dared to expose Kelleher and his crooked henchmen he found himself pitted against ruthless men who were determinded to silence him at any cost.
