England encounters ...

... the real deal: Blue Blood by Edward Conlon. (Hat tip, Paul Davis.)

When I reviewed Blue Blood, I called it the best book about cops I ever read. Conlon's a cool guy, too. Meeting him was a privilege.

  1. Frank,

    I recall when you introduced Ed Conlon and Joe Pistone at the Philadelphia main Library some years ago.

    Conlon's book was new at the time and he was a better public speaker than the more reserved and older Pistone, so most of the questions were directed to Conlon and not to Pistone.

    I liked that Conlon was generous and considerate and he told the people to ask Joe, who was and is a legendary former FBI special agent who went undercover in the mob for six years, some questions as well.

    I too liked "Blue Blood." I'm surprised that he has not written another book. I hope one will come out in the future.

    Paul
