Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0451409183, Paperback)An electrifying new thriller from The New York Times bestselling author, one of the originators of the big-city police novelWilliam J. Caunitz, the author of such classics as One Police Plaza and Exceptional Clearance, is back in bestselling form with his latest New York City cop thriller, Chains of Command. When a young police officer is shot and killed in his girlfriend's apartment in Washington Heights, investigators suspect that he had been taking money from the Dominican drug gangs that rule the neighborhood. An ambitious female deputy police commissioner and a daring detective lieutenant go up against the forces of greed, rivalry, and long-buried secrets to protect the ones they love and solve the crime of their careers. These two cops are the best of the true blue, brave, and loyal. * Caunitz's first four novels were New York Times bestsellers * Cleopatra Gold was a New York Times Notable Book in 1993 "He knows more about cops and what moves them [than] Joseph Wambaugh or George V. Higgins. Its special strength is its carefully exacting depiction of what the working life of a big-city police department really is like."--The New York Times Book Review (on One Police Plaza) (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
