Rouge sur rouge
Authors: Edward Conlon
Description: Inspecteur du NYPD, Nick Meehan est transféré à Manhattan où il fait équipe avec Esposito, un flic-né qui a du mal à suivre toutes les règles. Entre l’inspecteur taiseux et le flic flamboyant se noue une féroce amitié sur fond de suicides sordides, de viols en série et de gangs, bref de tout ce qui fait le quotidien du NYPD. Dans un roman aux accents métaphysiques qui n’est pas sans rappeler Joseph Wambaugh, Edward Conlon, lui-même ancien flic new-yorkais, retranscrit à merveille l’équilibre fragile et hautement instable du binôme.

Le Bureau des policières
Authors: Edward Conlon
Description: Fasciné par l’histoire de Marie Cirile-Spagnuolo - une femme d’origine italienne qui a débuté sa carrière au sein du NYPD en 1957, et qui est devenue l’une des premières enquêtrice dans un monde d’hommes à une époque où l’on considérait encore que la femme n’y avait aucunement sa place - l’ex-inspecteur Edward Conlon livre un polar singulier qui retrace l’histoire palpitante de cette pionnière hors norme qui s’est jetée corps et âme dans la chasse aux criminels sans se laisser décourager par la misogynie ambiante et les bâtons qu’on lui mettait constamment dans les roues.

Red on Red
Authors: Edward Conlon
Description: The author of the celebrated memoir Blue Blood (“May be the best account ever written of life behind the badge.” —Time) delivers a mesmerizing, relentless thriller that rings with the truth of what it takes to be an NYPD detective. Nick Meehan is introspective, haunted, and burned out on the Job. He is transferred to a squad in the upper reaches of Manhattan and paired with Esposito—a hungry, driven cop who has mostly good intentions but trouble following the rules. The two develop a fierce friendship that plays out against a tangle of mysteries: a hanging in a city park, a serial rapist at large, a wayward Catholic schoolgirl who may be a victim of abuse, and a savage gang war that erupts over a case of mistaken identity. Red on Red captures the vibrant dynamic of a successful police partnership—the tests of loyalty, the necessary betrayals, the wedding of life and work. Conlon is a natural and perceptive storyteller, awake to the ironies and compromises of life on the Job and the beauty and brutality of the city itself.
