WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A DETECTIVE? In The Shield of Gold, private
investigator and former New York Police Department homicide
detective Lenny Golino informs, amuses, and sometimes saddens the
reader with real-life stories from his twenty-one years with the
NYPD and from his current position as head of Gold Shield Elite
Investigations, LLC. Among the chapters are "Gratitude and
Attitude," "From Kid to Cop," "'Street Eyes' and 'Street-wise, '"
"World Trade Center Attack, September 11, 2001," "Line-ups,
Show-Ups, and Screw-Ups," "The Murderous Mom," "One Who Got Away,"
"Cache of the Day," "Through a Cop's Eyes," "Who, or What, Is
Bugging You?" This candid memoir describes some of the highs and
lows of being on the Job. One needs a sense of humor and a
philosophical perspective not to become victim to three common
hazards of police work: alcoholism, divorce, and suicide. "To serve
and protect" successfully, one must have insight and compassion,
along with street smarts and a desire to see justice done. One
cannot be too soft-boiled nor too hard-boiled...nor scrambled.
After retiring from the NYPD, Golino found that being a detective
had become addictive. He established his Gold Shield Elite
organization to continue his calling and to provide private
investigative services that are timely, professional, and
affordable. The Shield of Gold gives a first-hand depiction of
police work and private investigating that both informs and
entertains. Leonard Golino is a decorated veteran of twenty-one
years of service with the New York Police Department, the last
seven years of which he served as a robbery-homicide unit
detective, solving 46 of 57 homicide investigations he conducted.
He is currently a private investigator. Douglas Winslow Cooper,
Ph.D., is a retired scientist, now a freelance writer and
book-writing partner. He is the author of Ting and I: A Memoir of
Love, Courage, and Devotion, al
