2 unusual facts about Dorothy Uhnak


Dorothy Uhnak

After the Opara trilogy, Ms. Uhnak branched out into longer, more ambitious police novels such as Law and Order, which became a TV-movie starring Darren McGavin, The Investigation, which was adapted into a TV-movie featuring Telly Savalas as Kojak, and Victims, which seemed to fictionalize the Kitty Genovese murder.

All three novels featured Christie Opara, an NYPD detective assigned to the Manhattan District Attorney Office, where Uhnak herself was assigned for many years.
