The Shadow of al-Saahira
by Abbas

Max Judah Cain is Paterson Police Department’s fiercest watchdog—a rogue cop who’s committed more than his share of unspeakable acts; chief among them, the vilest transgressions against Paterson New Jersey’s young Black sons. But life takes a savage turn the night his daughter, Jada Cain, is murdered by one of the eastside’s most notorious drug dealers, Cevonté Anthony. The 22-year veteran cop vows someone must pay—and the shade of revenge must match the coal-dark skin of Jada’s killer.
