Autorenporträt
Thank you for purchasing my book detailing the early history of policing in New York City. This is the tenth book in the "Police of New York City" series. This is a change of pace for me as most of my previous works have been memoirs regarding my police career as well as humorous works of fiction. You can check out all my books on my Amazon Author Page. Again, thanks, and I hope you enjoy reading about this small piece of New York City policing history. I would greatly appreciate a brief review when you have completed the book. https://www.amazon.com/Robert-L.-Bryan/e/B01LXUSALG/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1
