Summary

True Crime Author series "Good Folks Mad City" by Mike Colon. #MikeColon #truecrimestories #NYPD #FDNY Good Folks, Mad City: Life on The Edge in The FDNY & NYPD extracts 40 stories from the over 200 first responder interviews that I have done on my podcast Mic'd in New Haven over the years with both active and retired members of the New York City Fire Department and New York City Police Department. These stories range from phenomenal technical rescues, major criminal investigations, hostage rescues, shootouts, major fires, defusing bombs, and the response to the World Trade Center attacks in both 1993 and 2001. A gripping firsthand recollection of some of the biggest emergencies in New York City's history as told by the men and women in blue and red who were there, this book will take you a wild ride on what it's like to walk the beat or run to box alarms in the greatest city in the world.
