Berkley returns with his most incredible offering, The Union. It has been three years since the horrific murders caused by the Action Figure Killer, along with the Alpha and Cabal gang war that has been labeled as the "Incident of Ridgely Square." Baltimore City has been faced with a water crisis after learning that lead and asbestos have contaminated the city's drinking water. The youth of Baltimore City have been targeted by a murderer called the Charm City Strangler, known to leave the remains of African American teenage boys in Leakin Park. Tiffany and her husband, Hakeem Andrews, have found themselves in a tough position: Having to continue rebuilding Ridgely Square while also doing what's best for their family. This position comes at a price as Hakeem attempts to develop a relationship with his estranged sister, Bishop Kesha Stokes. Hakeem and Tiffany will soon learn that Bishop Kesha Stokes's cult-like church, Andrews Memorial, may be involved with the most influential people in Baltimore City, who call themselves the Flamingo Club. The Flamingo Club secretly controls all of Baltimore City. In Berkley's epic roller coaster ride of a story, Tiffany and Hakeem will learn what "family first" truly means in The Union.
