"Brooklyn cop Joe Rizzo is ready to retire and spend the rest of his days with his wife, doting on their grown-up girls. But when his youngest daughter Carol decides to follow her dad onto the force, Joe decides to stay on until she's settled, calling in favors to get her assigned to the easiest house, the best training officer-- anything to protect his baby girl. And while there, he's expected to work a few cases, though he never would've guessed that they'd include the most sensational one of his career, the murder of mob boss Louie Quattropa. If mob wars were the worst of his problems he could handle that, but with a daughter on patrol, Joe knows all too well what dangers await her and what little he can do about them. The authentic voice and their breath-takingly accurate portrayal of police work have won Lou Manfredo's novel's wide acclaim, and Rizzo's Daughter raises the bar to a whole new level"--
