Nick Raider

Detective Nick Raider works the streets of New York City — a beat cop's nightmare of organized crime, serial killers, and urban decay. A dedicated officer with a strong moral compass, Nick fights crime the old-fashioned way: with legwork, instinct, and the occasional well-placed right hook. The series brings the gritty realism of American police procedurals to the Bonelli format, with stories rooted in the everyday dangers of law enforcement. Nick's cases take him through every stratum of New York society, from the penthouses of Manhattan to the darkest corners of the city. Published from 1988 to 2005, Nick Raider offered Bonelli readers a dose of hard-edged urban crime fiction inspired by the great American cop shows and detective novels.
