Bullets or Ballots

A crusading anti-racketeer is brutally murdered, prompting a grand jury to task McLaren with leading the effort to dismantle the criminal organizations. However, McLaren's decision to fire NYPD Detective Blake sparks a violent confrontation, and Blake turns to the very rackets he once fought...

Johnny Blake, a former detective, seeks to join the mob after the police captain, McLaren, becomes commissioner.
