Synopsis:
Edward Conlon’s Blue Blood is an ambitious work of nonfiction about what it means to protect, to serve, and to defend among the ranks of New York’s finest.
Told by a fourth-generation NYPD officer, it is an anecdotal history of New York City as experienced through its police force, depicting the city’s street life in all its horror and splendor. It is a story about police politics, fathers and sons, partners who become brothers, old ghosts, and undying legacies.
Conlon joined the NYPD during the Giuliani administration, when New York City’s crime rate plummeted but the city and its police force were also shaped by polarizing racial cases, the growth of the drug trade, and the events of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Conlon describes this world firsthand, day after day, capturing the rhythms of speech, the ironies of the job, and the tragic and the marvelous in equal measure.
