In the early 1970s New York City was awash with crime. As I graduated from law school there were few jobs available for young lawyers, as there was a recession. Due to poor job prospects, I applied for and was hired to be an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York. The book describes the strange and sometimes funny situations and practices that existed at that time. These resulted from a number of circumstances, but mostly the extremely high crime statistics that impact the police and prosecutors' manner of addressing the overwhelming amount of crime. I have changed some details to protect the innocent and avoid embarrassing anyone. However, the basic stories are true accounts of how I moved through the office and became one of eight "riding" assistants helping to investigate the approximately 400 homicides in Brooklyn that year.
