If you liked the movie...

Though I am not in law enforcement, I am cetain that this must be a very accurate portayal of the work of a police detective (or DEA or FBI agent, etc).

Fascinating

Well, I read this book at the age of 15, when it was first published in 1969. I loved it. Tho frankly I'd have to read it again to do any kind of real review.

He contacted friends in the New York Police Department...

great detective story

I haven't even finished half of this book and now I am ready to review it. What a fantastic detective story. I dont live in NYC and wouldn't want to either but I can almost sense what it would be like. The author gives great geographical descriptions and also intense character descriptions which is what makes this book/story to me a good read. I literally lost interest in other things and read this book cover...

How Narcotics Detectives broke up a Mafia Drug Ring

Robin Moore writes a stunning novel that illustrates the fundementals of good detective work. Egan and Grosso are two Narcotics Detectives who track a mafia drug dealer, but they don't know that the mob is also part of a bigger drug ring with french dealers, who smuggle drugs over from France under the innocant cover of a famous French T.V. star. The Final bust is brilliant. A rcommended read for anyone who likes a classic...
