 BOOK - TIN BADGES


A top NYPD detective is pulled out of retirement to take down a notorious drug dealer. But when cracking the case means involving his computer-whiz nephew, will he risk the only family he’s ever had? From the #1 bestselling author of Sleepers and The Wolf comes this exciting new novel! 

As one of the NYPD’s most trusted “tin badges”—retired detectives brought in to solve cases that are beyond the reach of the everyday force—Tank Rizzo has faced off against some of the city’s toughest criminals without breaking a sweat. To tackle a case involving a dangerous kingpin known as Gonzo, Tank turns to his best friend and ex-partner, Pearl; a former mobster living out a seemingly quiet retirement as the owner of Tank’s favorite Italian restaurant; and a team of expert misfits he would trust with his life. But Gonzo will stop at nothing to defend the empire he's built, and won't hesitate to make it personal.

We'll have more soon, so check back with us!

"TIN BADGES is pure platinum. Action fans will love the complex, move/countermove battle between retired NYPD detective Tank Rizzo and his colorful crew of societal misfits ready to do whatever it takes to take down a vicious drug dealer and the corrupt cops who protect him. But Carcaterra digs deeper, rendering a soulful mediation on the things that make the life-and-death struggle worth the risk – family, honor, loyalty, and sacrifice. TIN BADGES shines brilliantly."
