LAPD Detective Shane Scully is investigating a series of murders of homeless men dubbed the Fingertip killer case but by the powers vested in them by the Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act, FBI and CIA agents takes them off the case. Shane questions the Fed's motives and suspects they bury the facts along with the victims. So Scully must do his own undercover work that reveals a tangled and dangerous mess of Russian gangsters. To add aggravation to the job, Scully's partner Zack Farrell has gone off the rails after a divorce and to try to hide his disfunction from his LAPD bosses, Scully enlists the help of his Chief of Detectives wife Alexa to get Zack committed to psychological care.

I got lost in the morass of plots and characters, but it's always fun to go along for a ride with Cannell. Since he wrote for televison, his scenes are vivid - a Russian mobster's house, for example, has "enough nude statuary and crystal swag to decorate every whorehouse in New Orleans" - and his dialogue is sassy.
