Black by Rose is the key to it all. 

When Eddie Collins gets pulled off a job, and resigns because of it, a series of life changing events begins; but not only for him.

The Major Crime Unit’s Operation Domino is the investigation into gang boss, Slade Crosby, and his connection with the death of an undercover officer. But tampered evidence halts Domino’s progress, and with Eddie out of the way, Slade is in the clear. 

There’s only one way to get Slade in cuffs…
