AUBREY, Texas, May 17, 2023 (Newswire.com) - "Manhattan Manhunt" is a fictional crime novel inspired by retired Port Authority K-9 Police Officer George O'Donnell's work while stationed at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in the Hell's Kitchen area of New York City. In 1993, O'Donnell and his partner, a King Shepherd named Billion, captured 3 international jewel thieves in midtown Manhattan. NYPD detectives told George O'Donnell this arrest was instrumental for the NYPD, FBI, and Interpol to catch the masterminds behind highly sophisticated paramilitary-style burglaries in New York City and throughout the United States. The suspects were later tied to the YACS, an organized crime ring that helped fund the Bosnian War and sought to replace the Italian mafia after their "Pizza Connection" case convictions.
While names, identifying characteristics, and other plot details have been changed, "Manhattan Manhunt" is a fantastic tale of police work in action. The novel weaves together two storylines: the first follows Detective Walsh and members of the NYPD task force investigating a series of jewelry store break-ins while the second follows a crime family working under "the Bard". In this back-and-forth narrative, the reader gets to see the twists and turns of the police investigation and the methods used by the Albanian mafia to commit these robberies. "Manhattan Manhunt" draws readers into the minds of the central players all involved. This novel will keep readers hooked to the end with its fascinating tales of determination and bravery and deception and betrayal.
