You will feel as though you are pounding the pavement and dodging bullets. Alphaville is the real deal." T.J. English, New York Times bestselling author of The Savage City Alphabet City in 1988 burned with h_eroin, radicalism, and anti-police sentiment. Working as a plainclothes narcotics cop, Mike Codella earned the nickname "Rambo" and a bounty on his head. The son of a cop who grew up in a mob neighbourhood in Brooklyn, Codella understood the unwritten laws of the shadowy businesses that ruled the streets. He knew that the further east you got from the relative safety of 5th Avenue, the deeper you entered the sea of human misery, greed, addiction, violence and all the things that come with an illegal retail d_rug trade run wild. With his partner, Gio, Codella made it his personal mission to put away Davie Blue Eyesthe head of Alphabet City's h_eroin supply chain. Despite the hell they enduredall the beatings and gunshots, the foot chases and close callsCodella and Gio always saw Alphabet City the same worth saving. With the blistering narrative spirit of The French Connection , the insights of a seasoned insider, and a relentless voice that reads like the city's own, Alphaville is at once the story of a dedicated New York cop, and of New York City itself.
