Pretty redhead Annie Boone lay face down on a liquor store floor, surrounded by broken bottles and riddled with bullets. Detective Roger Haviland lay face up in a grocery store's front window, a shard of glass piercing his jugular.
A homicide in the 87th Precinct wasn't exactly front-page news. But two murders made headlines. Both added up to BIG trouble. A mistake by Detective Steve Carella's new partner, Cotton Hawes, could put them both in the line of fire where a wrong move could get a good cop killed.
