The dogs days of August in Brooklyn and the detectives of the 61st Precinct are battling to keep all hell from breaking loose. 

Lives are taken in the name of greed, retribution, passion and the lust for power...and the only worthy opponent of this senseless malevolence is the uncompromising resolve to rise above it, rather than descend to its depths.

The heart-pounding sequel to the acclaimed novel GRAVESEND, from Shamus Award-winning author J.L. Abramo, CONEY ISLAND AVENUE continues the dramatic account of the professional and personal struggles that constitute everyday life for the dedicated men and women of the Six-One and of the saints and sinners who share their streets.
