About The Book

A Cop's Tale focuses on New York City's most violent and corrupt years, the 1960s to early 1980s. Jim O'Neil - a former NYPD cop - delivers a rare look at the brand of law enforcement that ended Frank Lucas's grip on the Harlem drug trade, his cracking open of the Black Liberation Army case, and his experience as the first cop on the scene at the Dog Day Afternoon bank robbery.

Raves and Reviews

Crime fighting like it has never been told before with no punches pulled. The hardest hitting expose of cops versus bad guys that has ever been written.

– Louis Anemone, Former four-star Chief of Department, NYPD's highest-ranking uniformed member when he retired in teh middle of the 1990s

Tim Herlihy - Former Head Writer, Saturday Night Live and Writer of The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy. A fast-paced and sometimes funny ride into the war zone that was New York City in the Sixties and Seventies. I sat down to read a few pages and read the entire book. A master storyteller brings a lost New York to life. You will not be able to put it down.

Edward J.Schneider - Detective Sgt. NYPD (Retired). Move over Ed McBain (87th Precinct series) and W.E.B.Griffin (Badge of Honor series). Here comes a gripping true account of crime fighting in New York City during the challenging 1960s and 70s, told by the man who lived it. No second hand stories, no fabrications, just the raw truth. A thriller from start to finish.
