Driving along the freeway, Shane Scully glances over and sees at the wheel of a neighbouring car his oldest friend and LAPD colleague, Jody Dean. Why is Scully so surprised? Because it's been two years since Jody committed suicide. Now Shane is confronted with the bizarre truth: Jody and five other cops thought to be dead are anything but. Originally sent deep undercover to bust an extremely violent international criminal network, they have gone bad. Calling themselves the Vikings, they are LAPD's worst nightmare: dangerous rogue cops who know how the system works. Full of the same high-wire suspense and wonderful characters that made THE TIN COLLECTORS such a success, THE VIKING FUNERAL brings Scully back into action.
