Travis Starr, back from A Cop’s Story and now retired from the Atlanta Police Department working as a private investigator for hire, is called back to Atlanta by an old friend on the force to try his hand at solving a murder involving dirty cops at a closed river landing. Starr is told the death of the cops’ appears to be the result of a drug deal gone badly and the case closed for lack of further evidence. But a wealthy Atlanta businessman’s son was also murdered and believes there’s much more to the case than has been told.
