The Investigation

A Novel

By: Dorothy Uhnak

A New York Times bestseller from the author of Policewoman and Law and Order: A story of a housewife with a secret—and a cop with an obsession. In a peaceful, residential section of Queens, all hell is about to break loose. Kitty Keeler’s children have gone missing. Both she and her estranged husband say they have no idea where they are. Then the bodies are found—the youngest was strangled to death and the other was shot in the back of the head. A media frenzy ensues . . . While there’s plenty of evidence against Kitty, NYPD sergeant Joe Peters believes she’s innocent and vows to uncover the truth. Soon, he finds himself falling in love with her, a love that quickly becomes an obsession. And it’s feelings like those that could get a man into trouble. From a former New York City cop and Edgar Award–winning author of bestselling crime novels that have been translated into fifteen languages, this is an “excellent [and] thoroughly satisfying” thriller set in gritty 1970s New York City (The New Yorker). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy Uhnak including rare images from the author’s estate.

Policewoman

A Memoir

By: Dorothy Uhnak

Dorothy Uhnak’s no-holds-barred memoir about her life as one of New York’s finest The “original policewoman,” Dorothy Uhnak was the first to write a procedural novel with a female cop as the protagonist. But before she turned her talents to fiction, Uhnak was a detective with the New York Transit Police. Policewoman chronicles her fourteen years on the force, where she was decorated twice for bravery. This insider’s view of law enforcement takes you behind the scenes into a city that was a no-man’s land of corruption, drugs, and violence. Uhnak recounts the hurdles facing a female cop during New York’s tumultuous 1950s and ’60s, and the difficult adjustment to a new way of life once she gets her badge. She takes readers from firearms training to homicide scenes to interrogation rooms where detectives extract confessions. As gritty and relentless as Uhnak’s novels, Policewoman is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last, spellbinding page is turned. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy Uhnak including rare images from the author’s estate.
