The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man offers a full-throttle look at New York city's fascinating cast of characters: the wiseguys, rogues' gallery celebrities and settings that range from the mean streets of the South Bronx to Manhattan's plushest penthouses. And when Fitzsimmons - a born-and-bred Gothamite, NYPD officer, model, actor, WNBC television personality, and celebrity bodyguard - plunges into the frenetic, fabled New York singles scene, his life takes a turn that he never anticipated. Told with large dollops of humor, jaw-dropping details, and not a little poignance, The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man takes readers on an extraordinary journey that's anything but ordinary.

Contributing Authors Include Clifford R. Barnett, John C. Fiske, Peter Malof And Florence K. Nierman. Preface By Milton D. Graham. Country Survey Series.

Ex-New York City cop Michael Beckett has seen the worst humanity has to offer. But nothing has quite prepared him for his role as a celebrity bodyguard: shepherding lowlife TV-reality star Tata Andolini through throngs of fans and hyper-charged celebrity photographers: stalkerazzi. And when he takes on a new client-the beautiful A-list celebrity Victoria Carrington-the chaos only gets more chaotic. Heroin has made its way into the celebrity circles Beckett inhabits. And stars are fatally overdosing-very likely the deliberate work of a serial killer. Meanwhile, Beckett's previous romantic entanglements-of which there are many-are threatening to undo him personally and professionally. His mentor, Sweet Tommy Lisi, a reformed mobster, may not be as reformed as he'd thought. And the feds are on Beckett's tail for his previous involvement with the Rockers, the NYPD's vigilante avenging angels. Could things get more complicated? Probably. At times funny, at times harrowing, Confessions of a Celebrity Bodyguard is a gritty, atmospheric romp of law and disorder-culled from author Thomas Fitzsimmons's real-life background.

Police officers Michael Beckett and Destiny Jones are starting to come to terms with their true feelings for one another when their world suddenly shifts gears. An ex-cop recruits Beckett into his gang of "rockers"--a secret society of vigilante cops who protect businesses from shakedowns for a price. This leads Beckett and Destiny into one of the deadliest, most tangled operations of their lives. 312 pp.

Fitzsimmons pens an insider's tale of a dedicated pair of New York City cops who uncover a heinous scheme of arson that will keep readers spellbound from beginning to electrifying end.
