- Synopsis
- Finglas native Luke Waters had dreamed of following his grandfathers and brother into An Garda Siochana, until, as for so many other Irish men and women in the 1980s, America beckoned. But Luke never lost sight of his dream, in spite of the hurdles he had to overcome and, in August 1993, he joined the ranks for New York’s finest. Beginning life as a ‘rookie’, driven by a combination of chutzpah and determination, Waters became a homicide detective in one of the toughest places in the world: The Bronx. Here, he would see the best and worst, from the heroism of fellow detectives, to the ravages of crack cocaine, from the constant grind of homicide cases, to the terrible fallout of 9/11. NYPD Green is a no-holds-barred account of the people and the cases, but also an insight into the dark side of a job where corruption and bravery often go hand in hand. The story of an Irishman made good and of the American dream, NYPD Green also pays tribute to one of the hardest jobs there is.
