Items related to Lady Gold
Angela Amato is a former NYPD detective who left the force and became a Legal Aid attorney. Her reasons for going over to the other side are shared by Gerry Conte, the detective in LadyGold who is assigned to baby-sit a young mobster-turned-informant who is being kept "on ice" while he is telling what he knows and can learn. Conte goes with him on "dates" and spends time chatting with him - a useful way of coaxing information out. She also has the courage to worm her way into the confidence of his Mafioso uncle Tony. And as time goes on, the feeling between the goldshield detective who hates what the mobsters do to the reputation of honest Italian-Americans and the young wiseguy who thinks he can go through life without paying for his actions edges into an odd and moving love story.

From the Publisher:
"Whether Amato and Sharkey are describing a seedy Italian pastry shop or the resignation of a hardworking woman who's learned to make the best of an imperfect life, they are adept at evoking places and mood, and the story of Gerry's friendship with Eugene is surprisingly moving." -Publishers Weekly
About the Author:
"An unexpected and fascinating relationship lies at the heart of this alternately dangerous and goofy story. It is filled with the keenly observed details and utterly unique perspective of a female NYPD detective who has come to understand that the world owes her nothing but figures she owes the world something: simply decency and an honest day on the job, no matter what the obstacles. And there are plenty of them." --Gregory Hoblit, director/producer of NYPD Blue and L.A. Law
"Funny, wild, endearing, profane, and progressively more so as it goes on. Above all, in every detail, genuine. This is the Real Deal." -Nicholas Kazan, screenwriter of Reversal of Fortune
"Angela Amato has utilized her unique experience as a former New York Police Department detective in creating a uniquely written LADY GOLD." -Arnold Kopelson, producer of The Fugitive
Joe Sharkey is a columnist for the New York Times.
