In November 1940, John McKittrick, a retired NYPD officer's son, returns to New York City after learning of his friend Lieutenant Louie Lepetino's death in a suspicious fall from a Park Avenue high rise apartment window. Despite the official ruling of accidental death, Kit is convinced that Louie's death is connected to his own two-year imprisonment and torture in the Spanish Civil War. As he delves into the investigation, he uncovers a complex web of suspects, including his former girlfriend, mutual friends, and even Inspector Tobin, who he believes is hiding the truth.
