About This Book:

Title: Bad Cop: New York's Least Likely Police Officer Tells All

Synopsis
After watching the Twin Towers crumble before his eyes, Paul Bacon discovers a new desire to serve his community, abandons his office job, and becomes a beat cop on Harlem's most dangerous streets. But Bacon's memoir is not a tale of heroism or courage, but rather a painfully funny fish-out-of-water account of his endless missteps, incompetence, and pratfalls in one of the world's most emotionally and physically taxing jobs.
