Blue Blood Book

As a Harvard graduate and regular writer for The New Yorker, Edward Conlon is a little different from most of his fellow New York City cops. And the stories he tells in his compelling memoir Blue Blood are miles away from the commonly told Hollywood-style police tales that are always action-packed but rarely tethered to reality. While there is action here, there's also political hassle, the rich and often troubling history of a department not unfamiliar with corruption, and the day-to-day life of people charged with preserving order in America's largest city.

'Superb. The most stunning memoir ever written about the cop world' - Joseph Wambaugh. 'Beautiful and inspiring terrifying and heartbreaking' - James Frey. 'More chilling than even the most realistic cop dramas on TV' - "People". 'A great book...with the testimonial force equal to that of Michael Herr's Dispatches' - "Time". "Blue Blood" is the fast-paced insider story of Edward Conlon's career in the NYPD. Conlon can really write but is a cop's cop through and through (the fourth generation of NYPD cop in his family). The book is part memoir part action set in the Bronx starting in the mid-1990s. We follow Conlon's rise within the force from rookie beat cop through a stint in the narcotics division to finally achieving gold-shield detective status as he is today but he also manages to portray a fascinating social history of the Bronx over the last twenty years and a history of the NYPD and its often violent evolution. The writing is gripping with stories of shoot-outs and drug dealers interspersed with domestic disputes and runaways.
