Publisher's Synopsis
"In 1961 my partner Eddie Egan and I made a landmark bust that became the basis for the film The French Connection. I enjoyed Connected Guy because it reads more like a movie script rather than a novel. Zazza adds his Brooklyn humor and romance to a situation that could have entrapped the best of us."
- Sonny Grasso, Producer - Actor, Police officer whose experience became the basis of the film "The French Connection"
"This is an intriguing premise, especially as it's based on a true story, and the author does a remarkable job of bringing New York in the 80's to life. The voice here is strong and engaging, and the authentic detail really brings the reader into this world. The reference glossary of mob terms is a nice touch as well."
- David Highfill, Vice President & Executive Editor Harper Collins
"The characters in Connected Guy were 100% real. When they first came into my restaurant I asked Zazza if they could have lunch downstairs as their faces would ruin my customers appetite."
- Steve Olsen, Wine Aficionado and Owner of "The West Bank Cafe"
