Boston F.B.I.Agent Rico falsely arrests Joseph Salvati, Peter Limone, Henry Tameleo, & Louis Greco for the murder of Teddy Deegan. All though they know these men to be innocent, they sentence them to be executed and are sent to 'death row'. F.B.I. Director Hoover is aware of this corruption but refuses to step in to prevent innocent deaths. By coincident, Govenor Weld changes all death sentences to life in prison. Greco & Tamelo die in prison, Salvati does 30 years and 3 years on parole. Limone does 30 years in prison. President Bush & A.G.John Ashcroft block a Congressional Subpoena exploring the abuses in the Boston F.B.I.Offices. The so-called Justice system allows innocent men to be sentenced to death!

About the Book
The history books are filled with the names of World War II heroes. Among these heroes are Teddy Sheerin and Steve Ryler, who first meet in Iwo Jima, as both face the possibility of death. Their paths cross again later after the war at Mattie’s Tap, where Teddy works as a bartender and Steve feeds his alcoholism. Over the bar, the two seal their friendship and compare war stories. They both decide to become Boston policemen and join the motorcycle force. From here, their lives diverge—Steve follows the path of drink, while Teddy thrives on crime and corruption. Teddy has it all—from lust to love, ethical to corrupt, plus an illegal income of $45,000 a day. A veteran who chooses a different lifestyle than that of his returning fellow veterans, he believes in the adage: “Might makes all things right.”
