A Fire in the Sun

"Once a small-time street hustler in the decadent ghetto called the Budayeen, Marîd Audran has become part of the system he has always despised, cut off from the life he once lived. He's traded his independence and his honor for a position as a cop, an enforcer in the employ of Friedlander Bey, the most powerful man in the city. Now Audran has stumbled upon a ruthless campaign of terror that cruelly strikes down his partner. Bent on vengeance, Audran discovers a bitter truth about his own history that may alter his life forever."--Back cover.
