It took one moment to change his life: It begins with a call in the middle of the night from a woman at the mercy of her abusive husband. It ends with a split-second decision for LAPD detective Shane Scully. But the man Scully brings down is also his ex-partner, a cop with an impeccable reputation. Scully calls it self-defence. His department calls it murder. And it's touching everyone in his shadow including Chooch, a streetwise teen entrusted to his care, as well as the boy's mother, a prostitute whose high-profile connections and killer secrets have dubbed her the Balck Widow. It will take one woman to save it: It's Internal Affairs prosecutor Alexa Hamilton's job to strip the rank of bad cops. For an ice-queen tin collector with a reputation for destroying careeres, Scully's badge is her ultimate prize. But Alexa's investigation has only unearthed the truth about the man Scully killed - his treacherous double life that masked a labyrinth of deadly corruption. Now it's ushering the innocent into a shattering hall of mirrors wher everything's suspect, everyone's for sale and every chance at deliverance may be their last.

Driving along the freeway, Shane Scully glances over and sees at the wheel of a neighbouring car his oldest friend and LAPD colleague, Jody Dean. Why is Scully so surprised? Because it's been two years since Jody committed suicide. Now Shane is confronted with the bizarre truth: Jody and five other cops thought to be dead are anything but. Originally sent deep undercover to bust an extremely violent international criminal network, they have gone bad. Calling themselves the Vikings, they are LAPD's worst nightmare: dangerous rogue cops who know how the system works. Full of the same high-wire suspense and wonderful characters that made The Tin Collectors such a success, The Viking Funeralbrings Scully back into action.
