Terry O'Neill, founder and president of Constantine's Circus,
Inc., is an Albany, New York-based lawyer, public relations consultant and
freelance writer. He is the son of a Connecticut State Trooper, the grandnephew
of six members of the Bridgeport, Connecticut Police Department and the
great-grandson of a County Waterford police constable.
According to the book description of Constantine's Circus, "On
November 18, 1993, the people of the Hamilton Hill neighborhood in Schenectady,
New York awoke to find a huge drug raid going on around them involving some 500
state troopers, county deputies and city cops, a helicopter and two truckloads
of Mobile Response Teams in battle gear. Within a few hours, over 110 drug
dealers had been rounded up and carted away beginning a period of decreased
crime that was to last for almost six years. That event also inspired this
book."
