Summary: The best NYPD police stories I have ever read, the real JOB!
Review: As a retired cop from the NYPD Ed Dee has taken me back to the old "Job" that I have missed. He shares the NY cops best and worst fears and experiences. This is the most accurate telling of a cops life and the way investigations are conducted. From his descriptions of the station houses from the front desk to the politics at the puzzle palace, (1 Police Plaza)and the real cops good and bad. And I thought me and my old partner were the only guys who called each other "Pally"! An old term we heard many moons ago in an old Bogart movie! If you want to see what it used to be like to pound the beat and investiagte crimes in the Big Apple this is the guy to read...Ed keep'em coming, Pally! I can't what to start my next tour and collar up!

Summary: Right on the Money
Review: As a retired NYPD Lt. and a great admirer of Ed Dee's writing I find his latest effort his best. His vignettes on police work jog my memory and I recall the way "The Job" used to be. Dee is by far the best writer of police procedurals today and the heir apparent to Ed McBain.

Summary: Dee does it again
Review: I'm a police officer with a fifty man department in Idaho. Much about how my department functions and how the NYPD works is very different. But I've also been suprised to see there is more that my dept has in common with the gigantic NYPD. Dee is expert at capturing the feeling of law enforcement, the undeniable truths of being a cop no matter where you're at. this is Dee's best work to date. He takes his characters to new levels, and his writing has achieved a sophistication. It's a daring move in having one of the characters lose his son, but it's effective. Not something that one sees very often in a book franchise. All in all I can't reccommend Dee's books highly enough. I find his work to be engrossing and fast moving, he's one of the authors whose newest book I'm always keeping an eye out for. Try him. I think he'll enjoy his books as much as I do.

Summary: Dee Does It Again
Review: Start at the beginning and work your way through Ed Dee's marvelous stories. You'll be captivated by his "arresting" tales of police work in the Big Apple. You'll fall in love with Anthony Ryan and his beautiful wife Leigh. You'll laugh at his partner--even find yourself counting his sneezes. You become a part of their lives, because Ed Dee's characters jump off the pages at you.

My only complaint is how long we have to wait between books!

Summary: Nightbird by Edward Dee
Review: You can now count Ed Dee among the artists who have contributed to the legend of the Great White Way. With Broadway as his backdrop, Dee paints a scene like no one else. For those of you familiar with the theater district of New York City, you will marvel at Dee's ability to capture the dichotomy that is Broadway: from its cultural elite to its nefarious sleaze; from its inspirational triumphs to its broken dream; from its fine restaurants to its foul hot dog stands. For those of you who have never set foot in the theater district---no need to worry---Dee's vivid prose will have you hearing the tumult and smelling the sewer gas as they rise from the pages. Now throw Detective Anthony Ryan and his partner Detective Joe Gregory into the mix and not since Yankee Doodle Dandy have greater characters graced the boards. Broadway, Ryan, Gregory, Dee....you'll be turning pages until the curtain falls.

This one has it all, folks.
