A raw, gritty memoir that combines a true-life cop thriller with a compelling history of a tumultuous era, this account will grip you until the explosive conclusion. In 1988, Alphabet City was engulfed in heroin, radicalism, and anti-police sentiment. As a plainclothes narcotics officer in Manhattan’s most dangerous neighborhood, Detective Sergeant Mike Codella earned the nickname "Rambo" from local dealers, along with a $50,000 bounty on his head. Growing up in a mob-infested Brooklyn neighborhood as the son of a cop, Codella was well-acquainted with the unspoken rules of the streets. He recognized that venturing east from the safety of 5th Avenue and NYU plunged one into a world of addiction, violence, and the chaos of an unchecked drug trade. Alongside his partner Gio, Codella made it his mission to apprehend Davie Blue Eyes, a ruthless murderer and leader of the heroin supply chain. Despite facing beatings, gunfire, and harrowing chases, Codella and Gio remained committed to saving Alphabet City. This riveting memoir chronicles their pursuit of the notorious Forty Thieves surrounding Davie, detailing how they methodically dismantled the drug operation. With a narrative style reminiscent of "The French Connection," this account captures the essence of a dedicated New York cop and the city itself.
