IN THIS CAPTIVATING, OFTEN HILARIOUS DEBUT MYSTERY, ONE OF THE GREAT COMEDIANS OF OUR TIME BLENDS FACT WITH FICTION, AS LAW & ORDER: SVU'S
RICHARD BELZER'S OFF-CAMERA PERSONA COMES TO LIFE ON THE PAGE,
EMPLOYING INVESTIGATIVE KNOW-HOW AND COMEDIC TIMING IN EQUAL MEASURE TO
SOLVE THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A TRUSTED FRIEND.
When Richard Belzer meets Rudy Markovich, nyc medical examiner, for
dinner in Brighton Beach, he has little reason to expect anything more
than a friendly bull session. But in the next twenty-four hours Belzer
finds himself in the middle of a vicious street brawl, splashed across
the tabloid headlines as an out-of-control celeb, and fearing for the
life of his good pal Rudy -- who police assume is sleeping at the bottom
of the East River.
As Belzer finds himself increasingly
required to call upon the resources he taps to portray Detective Munch
on nbc, he maintains his sense of humor and carries us along on a
rollicking ride through the underworld of New York City. With Rudy
kidnapped, or worse, it falls to The Belz to track him down and solve
the riddle to the vanishing act.
The lives of Detective Munch and Richard Belzer collide and mesh in I Am Not a Cop!
as one of America's great comics and TV cops brings all of his talents
to bear in book form and provides a triumph of the mystery genre.
