Well written and an interesting premise, but got a little far-fetched at times. I think Daley was NY Police Commissioner at one time, and occasionally he seems to get a little sidetracked in describing departmental politics. If I remember correctly, he never served as an actual police officer and was a political appointee - maybe he's just writing about what he's most familiar with. Most books usually include at least a paragraph about the author, but this one did not, so I could be mistaken about the author's history. This is the first of his books I have read in several years because I got tired of the political discussions.
