This is one of the best and most realistic book since The French Connection. It's the Moby Dick of police stories. It makes me wish I was still making movies.
Jurgensen personifies persistence and tenacity. His moral compass has taken him places most would be afraid to travel. The more obstacles in his path, the further he is determined to go.
This book brings you back to the unforgettable 70’s. It depicts the horror of that period. As a NYPD officer it reminded me of a time that to a certain degree we are facing now. A must read.
