This review is from: Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover Life of Kevin Maher (Hardcover)

if you are buying this book to know about Beverly Staub role in the story, you can find excerpts of it on the internet. You dont need to spend a single dollar just to read the few parts of the book where she is being mention.

1.0 out of 5 stars Try "Cop without his facts straight", January 31, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover Life of Kevin Maher (Hardcover)

Just what kind of fact checking was actually done on this book anyway? Kevin Maher always has and always will be known as a snake and for anyone to take his word at face value is incomprehensible. Kevin, I hope you are reading this. A set of facts as simple as those surrounding the death of your father you have distorted to suit you and make you look like a superhero. Your father did NOT die 8/9/74 the day you were released from prision as your story so eloquently puts it, with you rushing to his side just a minute too late. Your father died Aug. 9 of 1977 of a heart attack on the subway. You would not take care of the burial arrangements so your uncle Ron had to purchase a plot in Fairview Cemetary in NJ to bury him where he rests today, left out the part about how you got your Uncle Patrick kicked off the force and had the nerve to show up for his wake. You always were and are, a slimeball. This book is a farce.

This review is from: Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover Life of Kevin Maher (Hardcover)

This book was good, but not $189.00. good! Funny after people watched "Housewifes of New Jersey" and talked about one of the cast members being in it, the price shot up. Belive me it is not worth $189.00.
