True Blue: The Real Stories Behind NYPD Blue
David Milch. William Morrow & Company, $23 (213pp) ISBN 978-0-688-14081-6
Only diehard fans of NYPD Blue will find the faintest interest in this fanzine-style pseudo-expose. Told by Milch, the series' executive producer and co-creator, and Clark, a 25-year veteran of New York's Finest, the book relates the steps according to which the ex-detective's true-life cases were converted into scripts for the show and provides glimpses of the personalities of the actors, principally David Caruso, who left the series and whom the authors depict as a hugely obnoxious individual. It's all quite superficial. Photos not seen by PW. 100,000 first printing; author tour. (Nov.)
