<b>From the same deadly crucible that forged Al Qaeda and ISIS, a new terrorist plot threatens to strike at the heart of America, and it’ll take an uneasy alliance between New York’s sharpest investigative journalist and one of its toughest private eyes to take them down. <i>Badge of Evil</i> is the first novel in a bold new thriller series from the writing team of private investigator Bill Stanton and award-winning journalist Craig Horowitz.</b><br><br>When New York City’s police commissioner takes it upon himself to lead a raid that leaves three suspects dead and one barely clinging to life, the world takes notice—including A.J. Ross, one of the city’s top journalists. While A.J.’s angling to get the commissioner’s story, the surviving suspect’s family hires private investigator Frank Bishop to prove the young man was no terrorist, pissing off Frank’s former colleagues in the police department in the process. A.J. and Frank can’t stand each other, but it’s only through working together that they’ll be able to expose the commissioner’s deadly secrets… and a plot that strikes not just at the heart of the city, but of the entire nation.
