Bronx Angel is a riveting murder story and a gritty, authentic portrait of a "cop's knowledge" - the knowledge that tells you how to decipher a murder scene, how to beat a traffic jam, and what lies to tell your commanding officer or wife. From a late-night talk in cop bars to the haunting sounds that come over a car radio, from the spectacle of a battered homeless man who lives to fight policemen to the fresh-faced young recruits in sweatshirts and jeans, Bronx Angel weaves together an unforgettable portrait of men and women on the job - and the dangerous games that sometimes make them heroes, sometimes make them dirty, and sometimes get them killed. This hardback book is in great condition.
