No Witness But the Moon

A reported home invasion in an upscale New York community forces Detective Jimmy Vega into a life-or-death decision. A Hispanic man who fits the description of the armed intruder is fleeing the scene. When he refuses to surrender-and reaches into his pocket-Vega has just seconds to act. Soon, a tragic mistake takes an even darker turn when Vega uncovers links between the dead man and his own mother's unsolved murder.

Vega's need for answers propels him back to his old Bronx neighborhood, where he's viewed as a disgraced cop, not a homegrown hero. It also leaves him at odds with his girlfriend, activist Adele Figueroa. But when a shocking piece of evidence surfaces, it's clear someone will do whatever it takes to keep Vega from putting the pieces together. Only by risking everything will Vega find justice, redemption, and most elusive of all- the ability to forgive himself.
