After ten years as a Rhode Island Trooper, Gino Peterson is promoted to the Intelligence Unit, an elite group of state police detectives with one purpose: battling the Mob. Growing up in Providence’s Federal Hill surrounded by wise guys, Gino was once tempted by the lifestyle but his hard-working father was killed in a mysterious car accident. That moment sealed his fate and he dedicated his life fighting to bring them all to justice.
Gino Peterson (They Always Win) wants Back in the Game as a trooper working for the RI State Police Intelligence Unit, investigating organized crime. So does one of his acquaintances from the old neighborhood, Richard "Moon" Capelli, albeit on the other side of the law. Their paths are set on a collision course in this gritty and authentic study of the motivation to belong - and how far some people might go to be somebody again.
