The Dark Narcs

  The Dark Narcs  Paperback – April 5, 2022  by   Paul Mahoney     (Author) The year is 1987, and the city of Denver is being ravaged by a rash of summer violence associated with street drug-dealing seldom before experienced. The dark narcs are a four-man team of street narcotics detectives, two Black and two white, assigned to the night shift. They are right in the middle of it all, including being targeted for murder themselves, and are challenged to put an end to it. Through their investigations they identify the dealers responsible and attempt to put them out of business and stop the shootings and murders—five drug-related homicides in the span of ten days and two other shootings in which the victims survived. An aggressive police response to citizen demands for action in their community in the context of racial concerns, stringent legal guidelines, and immediate threats to public safety has become crucial, resulting in a jolting conclusion to the threatening criminal enterprise. -
