On most cop novels, movies, and tv shows, the Internal Affairs guy are the bad guys of the police world. But that is not how the IA cops see themselves. To Joe Cullen and his fellow IA officers, they are the good guys who weed out the corrupt and criminal among the regular members of the force. Crime journalist Jerry Oster knew many IA cops personally and presents their side of the story in a brilliant, suspenseful series of novels detailing their work, their problems and the deadly dangers they face. T

he first book of the Joe Cullen series begins when somebody torches an abandoned uptown hotel called the Raleigh —and sixteen homeless squatters die in the blaze. Soon after, somebody puts a bullet through Chuck Story's neat Izod shirt, right above the alligator, and adds a few grisly touches to the crime. The Raleigh fire is news, but Chuck Story's murder is a screaming headline—because young multimillionaire Chuck Story was the new Police Commissioner of New York City.

Condition: Touch of sunning at extremities else near fine in a fine jacket.
