Trivia

Wrote "One Police Plaza" during 10 years on the New York police force.

The David Mamet film 'Homicide (1991)' began as an adaptation of William Caunitz's novel "Suspects." However, the more Mamet wrote, the more his story diverged from the source material until, with Caunitz's blessing, Mamet left "Suspects" behind entirely.

Thanked in the acknowledgments section of the novel Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith.
