Having retired from the Chicago Police Department, Harry Bentley was lying low with only one thing looming from his past: He'd blown the whistle on a gang of rogue cops and was awaiting the day when Internal Affairs would call him to testify and help put their leader, Lieutenant Matty Fagan, behind bars.

His cover was working as a simple doorman in a highrise luxury apartment building on Chicago's lakefront. And then Gabby Fairbanks and her husband, Philip, moved into the building's penthouse. Gabby brought home a dumpy old bag lady, got a job at the Manna House Women's Shelter, found her life falling apart, and managed somehow to entangle Harry Bentley in the whole affair when she was faced with the dilemma of Where Do I Go? (Neta's parallel novel to this story.) But there was an upside. Through Gabby, Harry meets the classy Estelle Williams, a volunteer at the shelter, and envisions a second chance at romance.

Harry also gets involved with the Yada Yada brothers-Josh Baxter and his father Denny, Peter Douglas, Carl Hickman, Ben Garfield-who provide a new circle of friends to replace his old CPD cohorts. But when Harry discovers he has a grandson he didn't know about, will he find the faith to take on the boy as a "second chance" to be the father he'd failed to be to his own son-even when the boy creates new dangers in Harry's fight against corruption, and may derail his "second chance" at love?

This book "parallels" Where Do I Go? Neta Jackson's first novel in her House of Hope series. It stands alone, but together they provide the unique experience of "reading in 3-D." Go to www.daveneta.come for more information.
