Denny Malone is the "King of Manhattan North." He is a NYPD detective who heads an elite task force responsible for cleaning up the drugs, corruption, and guns in uptown Manhattan. He and his squad interface with the criminals and drug dealers as well as the various police agencies and precincts.

     Over the years, Denny and his crew gradually step over the boundaries between good policing by the book and activities that are criminal. They start small when presented with opportunities to take a few dollars, but escalate to major drug heists and murder.

     Unfortunately, corruption reaches all the way to the top of the police department and city government. The feds get Denny to start informing in a small way, but just as his crimes escalated, so does the level of incrimination required by the feds. Finally, the entire system of policing, government and crime are consumed by the investigation.

     Mr. Winslow has written one of the best "cop" books since Joseph Wambaugh. His protagonist Denny Malone is characterized perfectly with his fatal flaw. The authenticity shows through the meticulous research. The dialog is pitch perfect, the setting is real, and the characters are well drawn.

     As with his recent two books regarding the drug trade, The Cartel and The Power of the Dog, a reader will be hard pressed to put this book down. The Force is sure to appear on this year's "best" lists. Deservedly so. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and a MUST READ
