&quot;One hell of a good suspense story . . . Mills's book is a spellbinder, ironic in its implications, explosively dramatic in its narrative.&quot; — <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>The youngest detective on the New York City police force, Bo Lockley is eager to prove himself. Ordered to track down &quot;the Stick,&quot; a high-rolling pimp, Bo finds himself at the center of a Times Square shootout. Worse yet, he's quickly arrested and charged with murder, becoming the scapegoat of a department all too ready to sacrifice a naïve rookie in order to conceal its own corruption.<br>The ensuing scandal leads to an investigation by the Internal Affairs Division that forms the basis of <i>Report to the Commissioner.</i> So authentic that it reads like a real-life crime investigation, this suspenseful novel recaptures the gritty atmosphere of 1970s  New York in its examination of exploited idealism and self-serving ambition. Written by the author of <i>The Panic in Needle Park,</i> this hard-hitting bestseller inspired an acclaimed 1975 movie.
