Undercover narc Janice Itwaru is at month seventeen. Ambitious, desperate for that promotion, she hits the sidewalks of Queens in her secondhand hoochie clothes, hoping to convince potential criminals--drug dealers, addicts, dummies, whomever--to commit a felony on her behalf. And things aren't any easier back at the narco office, where she has to keep up with the bantering lies and inventively cruel pranks\u003cbr\u003e of her fellow uncles while coping with the ridiculous demands of her NYPD bosses.\u003cbr\u003e With an ailing mother at home, her cover nearly blown, quota pressures from her superiors, and rumors circulating that Internal Affairs has her unit under surveillance, Janice is running terribly short on luck as her promotion deadline approaches. Now she has to decide which evil to confront: the absurd bureaucrats at One Police Plaza, or the violent drug dealers who may already be on to her identity.\u003cbr\u003e Bursting with the glorious chaos of the New York City streets, \u003ci\u003eUncle Janice\u003c\/i\u003e is both a deeply funny portrait of how undercover cops really talk and act, and a compelling story of their crazy, dangerous, and complicated lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMATT BURGESS is the critically acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eDogfight, A Love Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
