Now Playing: New Book!

Fast-paced novel investigates police abuses in New York

 

 

Amelia Island, FL, Feb 7, 2008 - The Copper Indian turns the calendar back a half a

century to when the police used profiling and intuition, and had fun even when some of

their actions exceeded moral ambiguities.

 

The booking of a dead man, manipulating the press, and hiding a dead body, were not

bad enough, but giving a female junkie drugs to persuade her boyfriend to turn informant,

and submitting bogus expense accounts could be considered "crossing the line." These

are the type of situations that confronted Jim Utze, an idealistic Native American; first as

a patrolman and later as a narc. His values crashed into the storied culture of the NYPD

in the 1950s and '60s when he became a "copper."

 

As the erosion of his integrity accelerates, Detective Utze questions his continuing

acceptance of the system and he considers leaving for the FBI. Even his girlfriend, an

Israeli mystry woman, becomes an enigma, especially when Jim suspects she may have

played a part in the use of his personal weapon in an assassination of a Syrian agent.
