    Great New Book About Cops, Perps, NYC, and NYPD

    I just wanted to let everyone know I recieved and read an early edition of a new book due to be released later this month. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com, anyway its a great true crime book that takes place in NYC's Lower East Side. Anyone that has ever worn a uniform, or thought of putting one on should check this book out. The below is a review by the great author of The Westies, one of the best crime books ever written.

    "A blistering cop’s-eye view of the Drug War during the heady years of the late-1980s. [The authors] take the reader down alleyways and into shooting galleries, capturing the mood and patter of a time when a cop nicknamed Rambo and a gang of smack dealers called the Forty Thieves were caught in a dance to the death. You will feel as though you are pounding the pavement and dodging bullets. [Book Title] is the real deal.”

    – T.J. English, New York Times bestselling author of Havana Nocturne and The Westies

    First post pushing a book? Are you the author?

    Greg, are you saying you read the book? Or were you just referring to the post?

    "Five Shot"

    Welcome to RealPolice. If you are a police officer, you need to contact a moderator and work on being "verified" as an LEO here.

    Whether or not you are verified, you need to stop by the appropriate area and post an introduction so we know who you are. You will also want to mention your relationship to the book you posted and the authors of it. If you are only interested in advertising the book here, you need to contact the site owners to arrange that. I have deleted the references in your post to the title and authors of the book, since it really seems like Spam to make your first post a glowing review of a product (without even an introduction).

    If, on the other hand you are actually interested in participating here, then introduce yourself, start participating, and once you have established you are not a spammer, you can tell everyone about the great book you "got early."

    The book. I didn't really read it though I'm just being an ***.

    I think our wonderful new-jack has moved on after making such an earth-shattering contribution to the forums.

    He/she can PM me if they want this opened up and actually want to be a member of our community. Otherwise, the OP can just be glad I wasn't the one to find this and having had made the edit of the initial post. I may have had a little more fun with it.
