The 45 Stitch Rule: a Week in the D.a.'s Office Stephen J. Resnick

Follow the staff of the Brooklyn District Attorney, day and night for a week in 1974, as they contend with violence and death, stupidity and passion, loneliness and love, in a city made dangerous by its inability to stem the overflowing tide of crime. From Sunday morning through Saturday night, follow assistant district attorneys and NYPD detectives as they try to cope with mayhem and murder, in all of its real horror, in a city of three million people. Written by a career prosecutor with almost 40 years experience with law enforcement, its good and its bad.
