When a prostitute is murdered in a seedy motel room, and an eyewitness points his finger at a cop, it seems an open and shut case. But rookie officers Ben Grasso and Dina Greenbaum aren't buying the official story and undertake their own unsanctioned investigation. Fighting organized crime, police corruption, and their own demons, the partners find they can't tell friend from foe, and they may have started something they can't finish. Kirkus Review calls The Testing Point "An excellent police thriller from a new talent."
