Every city has organized crime

But only River City has a Russian gangster like Valeriy. He's meticulous, cunning, and willing to sacrifice anything--and anyone--to see his conquest through.

In Val's way are the men and women of the River City Police Department, including rookie B.J. Carson. She's trying to fill the shoes of a legend while the pressures of patrol and her own past catch up to her. She and her colleagues must unite and work together with a former River City cop turned FBI agent to face down the single biggest organized crime threat River City has ever seen.

In this novel, the fourth in the River City crime series, Frank Zafiro explores what honor and courage mean on both sides of the law, weaving a complex and engrossing story of crime, justice, and relationships. There are plotters and detectives, usurpers and leaders. Plans within plans. And in the end the price of victory and justice can both be high... and every man has to die.

What they're saying about And Every Man Has to Die

"This book should put Frank Zafiro on the fast track," says Wil A. Emerson of BookFetish.

"Frank Zafiro has created another gem," according to Kevin Tipple.

O'Neil De Noux, Shamus and Derringer Award winner, calls the River City stories "Hyper-realistic fiction at its best," and Todd Robinson, editor of Thuglit, says, "Mr. Zafiro's writing deserves more than comparison with the greats of the police procedural sect, it holds its own amongst them."
