>the scenes are derived from my experiences as a police officer in Philadelphia.

What part of Philly?

Believe it or not my former wife was from Philly, and not the Greater Northeast, either.

2nd and Allegany. - Of course, that was back in the old Frank Rizzo days.

- I’ll be sure to get your book at B&N. :)

I was from South Philly, 8th and Oregon, which is where the novel is set. As a cop I was assigned to the 12th District in Southwest Philly ( I lived around 68th and Dorel when I was a boy.)

I hope you do buy the book. B&N is cheaper than Amazon.com. B&N’s website says they are out of stock right now. Let me know if they tell you you cannot buy it. I will need to fix that.

Thanks again.

The only liveable nabes in Philly are in the condo corridors of central city. The rest of the city might as well be Detroit.

I swear, they should BULLDOZE the Italian Market area and build condos/townhomes. What a blight so close to Center City!
