A crooked cop tries to warn off his clean cop brother, who witnessed a murder the mob wants hushed up. There's a decent novella in here underneath the clichés, padding, and moralizing. Gets dark when a gangster gets fed up with his moll lush, drops her off with some boys to be gang raped, then wants to get her back.
I'm not one that requires likeable main characters, but I also had no interest in this heel being redeemed. Could also do without the Irish priest.
