by Michael Carey (Author)

A raw, brutally honest story of crime and vice in 1950s New York, written by an ex-NYPD vice squad cop under a pseudonym.

Vice Squad cops are men. Men like all other men, but with a difference. They must resist the temptations of shameless women, the bribes of sinful men, and arrest them in the name of the law. They are men of iron, men who must live, day and night, facing the most primitive enticements and not give in. Ninety-nine out of hundred of these dedicated lawmen succeeed and do the job that has to be done. But then there is the one who falls...and falls hard.

This is the inside story of a lone cop gone wrong, the hooker he falls in love with, and the bookies, wiretappers, numbers operations, gamblers, johns, and crime lords who run the rackets.

Michael Carey was the pseudonym for Edward J. Burton on May 20, 1917, an ex-cop who wrote a handful of crime novels. The date of his death is unknown.
