William J. Caunitz (1933–1996) was a New York City Police Department officer who used his own experiences to write best-selling thrillers. After serving in the United States Marine Corps, and working for an insurance company, he joined the NYPD in his twenties. He first worked as a patrolman, and eventually rose through the ranks to become a Lieutenant, followed by an assignment as a detective squad commander. Caunitz wrote with great authenticity when describing precinct day-to-day life in his novels, especially for ''One Police Plaza'', which was eventually made into a television movie. His novels usually center around one or two police officers that follow detailed police procedures to solve a crime, and he also used some sensational elements of thrillers. Caunitz died in 1996 from pulmonary fibrosis〔() ''New York Times obituary''. 1996-07-23.〕 His last novel, ''Chains of Command'', was half-completed at the time of his death and finished by Christopher Newman. ==Bibliography== *''One Police Plaza'' (1984) *''Suspects'' (1986) *''Black Sand'' (1989) *''Exceptional Clearance'' (1991) *''Cleopatra Gold'' (1993) *''Pigtown'' (1995) *''Chains of Command'' (1999) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Caunitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
