After twenty-two years working in precincts like Fort Apache in the Bronx, I decided to write some stories that relate to my experiences in these locations. The stories are unique in that they deal with subjects and material that are not common to police procedurals. For example, "The King Cole Trio" is about three black officers working in Harlem in the '40s, '50s, and '60s. These officers were so beloved by the neighborhood for taking not only on the Mafia but also the local black gangs in the area and accomplishing such feats as preventing the assassination of Olympic champion Jesse Owens. Each of these eighteen stories has their special insights into the conditions that the police are confronted with.
