Pigtown

I read this one over a couple of days, (I'm a fast reader) and this book was excellently written, and i'm sorry to say that i didn't actually grab this book... it was in a common room in my barracks, and i left it behind...

Good, taut writing. Interesting plot that mimicks then even mentions Frank Serpico. The one question I was left with: Is the NYPD corruption as pervasive as Mr. Cauntiz writes about?

The last of the novels by Caunitz is his best since One Police Plaza. He offers accurate depictions of the true workings of a large police dept.It is safe to assume that what he describes about the NYPD is probably true about most other large police departments. He presents many characters and slowly develops the web that connects them all. This book was very hard to put down once I started reading it. It is a shame that the author passed away so young and we are deprived of more excellent works from him.
