A peek behind the borders of a Blue Nation...These are the voices of the unseen and unheralded: the legendary Jack Maple whose honesty and ingenuity made New York City safe, the angelic Steve McDonald whose kindness inspired thousands, and the diminutive Vertel Martin, whose courage is a testament to Americans everywhere. They are among the finest that New York has ever produced, and Daly has shared them with us. -- James McBride, New York Times bestselling author Michael Daly is one of the finest street reporters New York has ever known. The power of his writing derives in part from both his instinctual humanism and his ability to capture the nuances of his people with novelistic aplomb. And when, as in New York's Finest, he writes about those he has deeply admired, such as Jack Maple and Father Mychal Judge, Michael Daly is at his shining best. -- Richard Price, New York Times bestselling author Thrilling, heartbreaking, inspiring, and exhilarating. It is Michael Daly's tour de force. -- Tina Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author
