2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
'Luke Waters had more than 20 years on the job. What he saw, what he heard and what he did will make you sit up, stay up and keep reading - and that's only what he can tell you.' - Ed Conlon, Bestselling Author of Blue Blood.Finglas native Luke Waters dreamed of following his grandfather and brother into An Garda Siochana, until, as for so many other Irish men and women in the 1980s, America beckoned. But Luke never lost sight of his dream and, in spite of the hurdles he had to overcome, in August 1993 he joined the ranks of New York's finest.As Waters rose through the ranks to become a homicide detective in one of the toughest places in the world, The Bronx, he would see the best and the worst: the heroism of fellow detectives, the ravages of crack cocaine, and the terrible fallout of 9/11. NYPD Green is a no-holds-barred account of the people and the cases, but also an insight into the dark side of a job where corruption and bravery often go hand in hand. The story of an Irishman made good, of the American dream, NYPD Green also pays tribute to one of the hardest jobs there is.

I finished this one at 1am and had to work at 8:30am this morning so I didn't have time to post. 😅 WHAT A FANTASTIC MEMOIR!!!!! 💚 Following detective Waters on some of the wild cases he helped work on in the Bronx. He has so many wild stories you couldn't imagine were real but they were. It can get a little violent but the detail makes you feel like you're at the crime scene! 🤯 SO GOOD!

I was so close to my 20hr target!! @Andrew65
