13. New York City, summer 1977. The Bronx is burning. The twin towers of the new World Trade
Center loom over the skyline. Son of Sam. Star Wars. Studio 54. The Five Families. The city
faces bankruptcy and unrest seethes. On the dark streets of a city the rest of the country
believes is going down the toilet, Vietnam vet Kane’s life mirrors his hometown.
Kane has been working as a ‘fixer’ for a high-priced lawyer since returning to New York in
disgrace. But is he really fixing anything?
It begins when he takes a compromising picture as part of the job. As the long hot summer
boils, so does Kane as the mob, the CIA, the IRA, and other forces are brought to bear on
him. What they all seem to have forgotten, and Kane wishes he could, is that he is a highly
trained and experienced warrior. A skilled killer.
What should a good man do when faced with the evil that the law can't touch?
On 13 July 1977, the Blackout occurs and Kane explodes.

find out who is behind this. And as he literally digs deeper, he realizes it

As the long hot summer of 1977 drags on and the Bronx
burns, Kane does some burning of his own, unraveling
secrets from his past and helping those who need his
particular brand of justice.
His problem: where is his new line? Who can he really trust?
