From rape to murder, from bombings to hostage-taking, the world of the New York Police Department's detectives is full of danger - and full of opportunities for heroism. These accounts from top investigators tell how it really goes down: never have detectives spoken so openly and in such detail.
Here are stories of what it takes: going undercover to catch a dangerous and seemingly untouchable drug dealer, defusing a bomb factory located in an apartment building with over three hundred people in it, investigating a brutal and elusive rapist who poses as a gypsy cab driver.
And for every crime there is a deeper story: how a detective tracked the criminal from crime scene to arrest; how a hopeless case turned around on the smallest condemning detail; and how insight, experience, and courage stopped some of the country's fiercest criminals.
With clear-ringing authenticity, Peter Micheels captures the action of the street, the politics of the precinct, and the drama of the courtroom.
