Internal Affairs

This gritty story of a copy's murder, a tough copy's dogged investigation, and a hot and sizzling New York summer reveals Jerry Oster at his best. The action begins when somebody torches an abandoned uptown hotel call the Raleigh - and sixteen homeless squatters die in the blaze. Soon after, somebody putts a bullet through Chuck Story's neat Izod shirt, right above the alligator, and adds a few grisly touches to the crime. The Raleigh fire is news, but Chuck Story's murder is a screaming headline - because young multimillionaire Chuck Story was the New Police Commissioner of New York City. Sergeant Joe Cullen, Internal Affairs Unit, is part of the department cops hate: he polices the police, he judges the judges, he arrests his own. He and his partner Neil Zimmerman are among the detectives assigned to investigate the Commissioner's murder. It's an internal affair in more ways than one for Cullen; he and Story were boyhood friends, and the prime suspect is another friend, a man who has devoted his life to helping the homeless. As the city simmers in the hottest summer in recent memory, Joe Cullen uncovers traces of corruption in very high places - information so explosive that people would kill to keep it secret. Now just being around Cullen becomes risky business - and those who just might get killed are his partners, his lover, city reporter Ann Jones; and his old neighborhood sweetheart, Story's sister, now a world-famous movie actress. Realistic in its portrayal of a city incandescent with heat and ablaze with passion, but-wrenching in its depiction of a copy determined to do what's right, and riveting in its exposure of scandals and corruption, 'Internal Affairs' is a compelling police thriller by a novelist with a reporter's eye and integrity....who tells a story straight and from the heart.
