Synopsis:
A Cop's Tale focuses on New York City's most violent and corrupt years, the 1960s to early 1980s. Jim O'Neil - a former NYPD cop - delivers a rare look at the brand of law enforcement that ended Frank Lucas's grip on the Harlem drug trade, his cracking open of the Black Liberation Army case, and his experience as the first cop on the scene at the Dog Day Afternoon bank robbery.
About the Author: Jim O'Neil has served as a New York Police Department patrolman, head of the Homicide Task Force, and was a boss in the Senior Citizens Robbery Squad before retiring in 1984. Carmelo Fazzino has taught a course called "Put It In Writing" and is a member of the Mystery Writers of America. This is his first book. Both authors reside in Long Island, New York.
