Pasadena, Texas, 1979. Days after getting her badge, Texas rookie cop Kristen Cates is assigned to a long-term street level undercover narcotics investigation. Under the direction of seasoned narcotics agents, determined to show that she's got what it takes to do the job, Kristen plunges into a world of deception, treachery, drugs, and violence that tests her will to survive.
Written with the authenticity that can come only from inside experience, Rush lays bare the conflict of a young woman who signs on as a cop to do the right thing, but soon discovers that the line between right and wrong is hard to see when the only way to save yourself is to betray your own beliefs.
Rush is the unsparing story of one woman’s journey across the thin blue line into the quagmire of the war on drugs. Drawing on her experiences as an undercover narcotics officer in Texas, Kim Wozencraft delivers a novel of moral ambiguity and devastating consequence — a book that moves at a breakneck clip and hits, as the Houston Chronicle wrote, with the wallop of a shotgun blast.
