A serial killer is roaming the streets of New York City...the madman's target-New York City police officers. An incident in a Queens housing project hurls highly decorated Detective Tommy Galvin, not only onto the front pages of the newspapers but also into the crosshairs of the sociopath. The hunter becomes the hunted Galvin's actions on a warm spring evening ignite a powder keg of racial tension and civil unrest, capturing national attention, which must be dealt with and brought under control by the NYPD. When the two men finally come face to face, Galvin's life has changed forever, in a way he could have never imagined. The Blue Executions will take you from the eyes of the killer to the investigation charged with taking him down; from the inner workings of a major New York City newspaper that the killer has entrusted to the behind-the-scenes politics of the NYPD at the highest levels. All of the while, Galvin's life is on the line.

Lieutenant James Keegan is a highly decorated police officer assigned to the NYPD's Joint Terrorist Task Force. Keegan has solved many high profile cases during his eighteen years with the NYPD, including an imminent terrorist attack which earned him a personal thank you from the President of the United States. All is not what it appears, however, with Lieutenant Keegan. James Keegan has a double life in which he has been involved with the Irish Republican Army for almost as long as he has the NYPD.Set in 1995, Exceptional Merit will take you from the quiet back streets of Northern Ireland to the gritty streets of New York City; from an I.R.A. training camp, to the most inner workings of the NYPD. Keegan's two lives come crashing together on New York's largest stage in front of a live televised audience, where Keegan must decide where his loyalty lies; to a job that he loves and the people of the city of New York he has taken an oath to serve and protect, or to the cause of freedom for Northern Ireland which he has believed in his entire life. All of the while, Keegan is unaware his every move is being watched from within his own department.
