David GoldsteinDavid Goldstein grew up in New York and attended Florida State University, where he earned a degree in Criminology along with many other prospective civil servants. After serving as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, David spent two and a half year as a patrol officer with the LAPD in Los Angeles. He then joined the NYPD and served in high-crime areas, mostly in northern Brooklyn, before becoming a Lieutenant/Platoon Commander in South Jamaica, Queens in 2020. After retiring from the NYPD, he served for four years as a campus police officer in Boston. Another Body in Brooklyn is David's debut crime novel. He decided to write this book because he has read too many unrealistic police procedurals. While this book has aspects of a murder mystery, it is really a story of the workings of a busy police precinct and the men and women who are tasked with being society's first line between order and chaos. He also wanted to showcase the tough work and even tougher decisions that patrol officers often have to make with limited time and resources.David is also the author of a book of short crime fiction, Back Alleys and Unauthorized Donut Shops. His upcoming science fiction book will be released in 2026. Read More Read Less
