Carsten Stroud infiltrated the New York City Police Department and spent several months with members of NYPD homicide squads; Stroud has produced a book as instinctual, exciting, obsessive and idiosyncratic as the best police work itself. The stabbing of an out-of-town college student, an unspeakably brutal rape-murder - he explorers the psychic landscape of the cop; and the compulsive commitment to the job, and the strange bond that binds cop and criminal.
