“More chilling than even the most realistic cop dramas on TV” (People Magazine), The New York Times bestselling Blue Blood is a gripping insider's account of life in the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
Part memoir, part thriller, it’s set in the Bronx, starting in the mid-1990s. It follows Edward Conlon’s rise within the NYPD police force, from rookie beat cop through a stint in the narcotics divisions to finally achieving the gold-shield detective status he holds today.
Conlon’s writing is gripping, with stories of shoot-outs and drug dealers interspersed with heart-wrenching accounts of domestic disputes and runways.
A Harvard graduate, Conlon has previously published articles in The New Yorker.
