This Writer Knows Little About the Area Where He Set His Book's Action
I bought this book because "Pigtown" is the old name for the eastern part of my neighborhood [Prospect Lefferts Gardens, in Brooklyn, NY, where I bought my house in 1974]. I assumed that is was set in the past, as the Pigtown name went out of use before WW II . I was wrong. The book is set in the 1990s, when it was written, by which time there were very few Italian-American residents in the former "Pigtown".
It's obvious that the author knows little about the neighborhood other then the street names and the number of the local police precinct [he even describes the precinct building wrong]. He has some knowledge of police terminology, but even gets much of that wrong, surprising for a former cop. I know because I'm a
retired NYC civil servant who spent most of my career working for a law enforcement agency [no, it wasn't the NYC PD, but , prior to working there, I worked on Police Civil Service exams and, a bit later on an employee suggestion program with many suggesters coming from the PD, so I had to learn much of the terminology].
great author
Excellant book. Be sure to read the follow up, many of the same characters in " CHAIN OF COMMAND"
old titles holds up
I read this book years ago, the author passed away fairly young but he knew his stuff as he was a former police officer. I wanted to re read his stuff and again I was taken away by his writing.
good read
