Product Description

Rizzo’s War , Lou Manfredo’s stunningly authentic debut, partners a rookie detective with a seasoned veteran on his way to retirement in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. “There’s no wrong, there’s no right, there just is. ” This is the refrain of Joe Rizzo, a decades-long veteran of the NYPD, as he passes on the knowledge of his years of experience to his ambitious new partner, Mike McQueen, over a year of riding together as detectives in the Sixty-second Precinct in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.  McQueen is fresh from the beat in Manhattan, and Bensonhurst might as well be China for how different it is.  They work on several cases, some big, some small, but the lesson is always the same.  Whether it’s a simple robbery or an attempted assault, Rizzo’s saying always seems to bear out. When the two detectives are given the delicate task of finding and returning the runaway daughter of a city councilman, who may or may not be more interested in something his daughter has taken with her than in her safety, the situation is much more complex.  By the end of Rizzo and McQueen’s year together, however, McQueen is not surprised to discover that even in those more complicated cases, Rizzo is still right—there’s no wrong, there’s no right, there just is. Rizzo’s War is an introduction to a wonderful new voice in crime fiction in the Big Apple, ringing with authenticity, full of personality, and taut with the suspense of real, everyday life in the big city.

4.0étoiles sur 5 AUTHENTIC PICTURE OF TWO OF NEW YORK'S FINEST, Oct. 5 2009
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Amazing! When Emmy Award winning actor Bobby Cannavale slips into character as one of New York's finest you believe you're eavesdropping. His deliveries of police-speak are true, and his narration portions are presented in a low, distinct, ultra smooth voice. When 27-year NYPD veteran Joe Rizzo is speaking Cannavale easily slips into a deeper, husky tone reflecting at times weariness of what he has seen and done or simply ennui. This narrator presents a one man show from Big Apple Streets.

Rizzo's War is a bit of a surprising police debut as there are no bloody murders but rather a study of the relationship between two officers as they ride together in the Sixty-second Precinct, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Mike McQueen is a young cop with six years experience, primarily in Manhattan. He's ambitious and has risen in the ranks due to hard work and luck (saving the mayor's daughter from a potential rapist). He will spend a year riding with Rizzo and learning from him. They face every sort of crime, large, inconsequential (if there is such a crime), and tracing the runaway daughter of a city councilman.

Debut author Manfredo knows of what he writes after having served as a New York State Court Officer. Knowing your subject is one thing but being able to bring it to life on paper is quite another. Manfredo has mastered that well, and we look forward to more from Rizzo who is fond of sharing his experience by saying, "There's no wrong, there's no right, there just is."

Enjoy!
