Customer Reviews

An insightful look into the politics of a large police department

A Man with a Gun is a fine read! The characters are developed well, the story is gripping and the look inside the walls of a large city Police Department is revealing and fascinating. If you want a thought provoking book that will carry you along, spellbound, to the end, get Daley's top notch book.

Gritty, Realistic Police Drama

An exciting story centered around the high echelons of the NYPD. The author, a former New York Deputy Police Commissioner, took me inside the stress, politics and drama of Police Headquarters. Daley's characters are all flesh-and-blood, caught up in circumstances beyond their control. The story centers around a new Deputy Police Commissioner that finds his well-intentioned plans go awry, placing him in great peril. A good read for those that demand more than simply a good plot.
