About this book
Based on years of fieldwork with the New York City Police Department and the District Attorney of New York, this book examines the moral ambiguities of the detectives' world as they shuttle between the streets and a bureaucratic behemoth.
Reviews
[An] engaging study of New York City detectives...Well-told tales of true crime, buttressed by clearly wrought descriptions of life on the street, turn it into something rarer: a fascinating peek into a world most of us would not want to inhabit--but can't resist wanting to hear about.
-- Mark Kamine Times Literary Supplement

There is much to commend Street Stories. It is an engaging and enthralling read.
