From The Washington Post's Book World
In Blue Blood, his memoir of life in the New York City Police Department, Edward Conlon would seem just the man to keep his two worlds apart. Harvard-educated and a gifted writer, Conlon has been
contributing the "Cop Diary" to the New Yorker under the name of Marcus Laffey. But anyone expecting a neat separation between
officer and writer will be disappointed. Conlon is a cop's cop and his book, a dazzling epic of street life and rough camaraderie,
is far more rewarding than any disgruntled Serpico-style tell-all could ever be.
