But now Lieutenant Byran must be a leader to an Internal Investigations squad that were all so much more experienced than he was.With almost forty thousand uniformed members of the service, the NYPD is a microcosm within the city. Just as there are murderers, thieves, and drug dealers in the city, there are also murderers, thieves, and drug dealers inside the police department. Somebody has to weed out these bad apples in the Big Apple.It's a tough job physically, mentally, and emotionally - especially with the "Rat" stigma that is so closely associated with Internal Affairs.

Could he quickly get up to speed and learn how to perform the wide range of investigations conducted by the Internal Affairs Bureau without being undermined?In this insightful, humorous, and sometimes poignant reflection on his distinguished career, Robert Bryan offers readers a window into the NYPD at a time when there is a lot of controversy and criticism of policemen.If you enjoy true no-holds-barred cop stories then you'll love C-Case. Written by an insider, this memoir will give you new and unexpected insights into what it takes to be a successful cop in the toughest city in America.

Was it an attack or a naturally occurring event?The government still didn't know. The only thing certain was the results. 130,000 Americans were dead, and if not for the heroic efforts of medical science in producing a vaccine, the United States would likely have ceased to exist as a functioning nation. More disturbing was the new term that became a part of every citizen's vocabulary - Post-life Reanimated Entity, or PRE - the government's effort to clinically label the undead.The events of 9/11 proved that Americans have short memories. It only took a few years without a major terrorist attack for citizens to lower the priority of counterterrorism and homeland security. The same phenomenon occurred after the outbreak. Once the threat from the PREs had been eradicated the citizenry went on with life as normal, with the image of the undead stalking the streets just a faded bad dream.NYPD Lieutenant Rick Soto is about to find out that New York City has a dark secret it is keeping from its citizens. Soto will be thrust into the middle of a threat that is all too real below the streets of the city. New York City still has work to do to eliminate the undead threat, and that mission is the job of Lt. Soto's new Police Zombie Squad.
