A gripping account of an extraordinary international narcotics case
as it unfolds on the streets of New York City, The French
Connection is an absorbing and sometimes frightening documentary of
the world's most successful narcotics investigation. A best-seller
and the basis of the classic film of the same title, The French
Connection remains one of the finest and most fascinating
chronicles of police work ever written.
When New York City detectives Eddie "Popeye" Egan and his partner
Sonny Grosso routinely tail the nephew of a fugitive mob boss,
after observing some wild spending at the Copacabana, they quickly
realize they're on to something big - an impending delivery of
narcotics. The mobster's incongruous connections are with several
distinguished Frenchmen, including the director of the world's
largest heroin network and a star of French television. For many
suspense-filled months, through opulent Manhattan nightclubs, dark
tenements in Brooklyn and the Bronx, tree-lined streets of the
genteel Upper East Side, and in Paris, Marseilles, and Palermo, the
duel is on - the prize 112 pounds of pure heroin. Over three
hundred investigators from local, state, federal, and international
agencies are ultimately involved in the hours of weary
surveillance, the skilled intuition, the luck - both good and bad -
and the danger.
