New York City cop Nick O'Hara ignores his family connection to the Mafia until his daughter is killed by stray gunfire in an alley between Little Italy and Chinatown, and Nick's life spirals out of control because he knows who is responsible but can do nothing about it - Blackwell North Amer
Codes of Betrayal is a drama of double cross and triple jeopardy. At it's center is Nick O'Hara, an NYPD member whose shifting family loyalties will ultimately force him to confront his deepest notions of honor, loyalty, and justice. The son of an Irish father and an Italian mother, Nick O'Hara has always been a loyal cop. His relationship with his grandfather, Mafia boss Nicholas Ventura, has been an albatross, but never an issue. Then, in a moment of carelessness, he sends his thirteen-year-old son, Peter, to spend the afternoon at a Little Italy street fair with his underboss cousin. Caught in an alley between Little Italy and Chinatown, the boy is brutally gunned down, a bystander caught between mob crosshairs. - McMillan PalgraveCodes of Betrayal is a drama of double cross and triple jeopardy.
