Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 71
Detective sergeant Denny Malone leads an elite unit to fight gangs, drugs and guns in New York. For 18 years he's been on the front lines, doing whatever it takes to survive in a city built by ambition and corruption, where no one is clean. What only a few know is that Denny Malone himself is dirty: he and his partners have stolen millions of dollars in drugs and cash. Now he's caught in a trap and being squeezed by the Feds, and he must walk a thin line of betrayal, while the city teeters on the brink of a racial conflagration that could destroy them all.

Gritty tale of NYPD bad boys
Revisado: 06-30-18
Our main character is an egotistical dirty cop whose long and arduous slide into hell is documented in true Winslow detail. He is only able to escape by climbing over the backs of others sliding faster than him into the abyss. The suspense is all there as well as the violence and graphic language. None of the characters are very admirable especially for me who happens to have respect for the NYPD, but like Art Keller (The Cartel) there is a very believable grain of truth that runs through them. Recommended listen for those who like there grit served with a large portion of raw realism.

On December 3, 1999, the call crackled in to the men of the Worchester, Massachusetts Fire Department: a three-alarm warehouse blaze in a six-story windowless colossus of brick and mortar. What happened next - and how their lives and community were changed forever - offers an unprecedented look at these heroic men whose job it is to rush into burning buildings when everyone else just wants out.

Any additional comments?
An amazing historical recounting of the brave men who fought the fire at the Worcester Cold Storage, those who lost their lives and those who had to carry the burden of that loss for the rest of their lives. Very well written and read. My only criticism is in the editing, the actual fire fight is split in two parts, the second half coming first and the first half second! What's up with that? It made it very confusing to follow, a chronological telling would be much better. All in all, highly recommended if you're looking for the real 'Chicago Fire'.
