Synopsis

Jimmy McTigue and the boys from Manhattan North Narcotics are doing “God’s work,” making collars and kicking down doors up above 96th Street in places like Harlem, Spanish Harlem, and Washington Heights—all the while having laughs. But when movie star Meg Cassidy; Artie Levin, her obnoxious agent; and the up-and-coming rapper he represents (hip-hopping about Jihad, no less) arrive on the scene, things are bound to get dicey—and they do!

This is Jake McNicholas’s first novel and if it seems that the “cop talk” is authentic, it’s because McNicholas is a retired NYPD Detective. Manhattan North Narcotics is replete with the sarcasm, humor and political incorrectness one would expect from a bunch of working cops. It’s a roller coaster ride that will have you screaming for more—before you even climb the first hill.
