Customer Reviews

sit back, open a beer, and listen to war stories

As a police officer in a small city north of New York for the past 10 years, I have had many opprotunities to relate with NYPD Detectives. This book has the feel of a war story, with the depth of many experiences that will give a serving police officer the ability to learn more about situations that he/she may find themselves in. If you are a cop and enjoy reading books that can give you an edge on the street, and are also entertaining, this book will not disappoint you.

Just The Facts - A Must Read!

As the wife of a NYC police officer, I highly recommend this book to those who seek a true, "insider's" look at the life and work of the NYPD. With each page it becomes increasingly evident that the author lived, breathed, ate and slept the often disturbing, sometimes humorous and always chaotic lifes of New York's Finest.

Worth reading

This is a well-written and interesting book about the work, and lives, of NYPD detectives.
