The NYPD was under pressure to prove it could police itself.
Detective Tony DeLuca gave them an answer no one expected.
After a troubled assignment leaves him questioning where he belongs, Tony enters Internal Affairs, a world where the suspects wear the same badge as the investigators hunting them.
When allegations of corruption begin pointing toward an entire group of officers, Tony is asked to help find a way inside. Traditional investigations have failed. Witnesses will not talk. And the officers involved know exactly how police investigations work.
So Tony designs a trap.
What follows is a dangerous operation built on deception, pressure, and the hope that corrupt cops will reveal themselves when they believe no one is watching.
But exposing the truth is only the beginning.
As the case grows, Tony discovers that doing the right thing does not guarantee protection, and that the consequences of the investigation may follow him long after the arrests are made.
Inspired by one of the most consequential NYPD corruption investigations of its era, The Line That Held is an authentic police procedural about the operation that exposed corruption from within, and the detective who refused to stop until the truth was uncovered.
Written by retired NYPD First Grade Detective Robert A. DeMarco, this novel brings readers inside a world few outsiders have ever seen, where every decision carries a cost and some victories never feel like justice.
For readers of realistic crime fiction, insider police procedurals, and law-enforcement thrillers rooted in actual experience.
