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?'

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.
