How enjoying to read this book especially when one is familiar with the area. This book is out of print so I was delighted to be able to find it. I have sent it to my sons who grew up in the area and they thoroughly enjoyed it too.

Actually, it is a good read for others who live elsewhere too. I am sure wherever we live this is not a foreign incident.

It is wonderful that I was able find this book on Amazon in good condition.

Personally, I liked this book and I also liked that it was an individual's take on corruption vs the whole system. There are books about that out there, but this one offered a personal account of corruption, how it began for him and his accomplices.

When I first picked this book up I thought it would offer insight into the dark world of police corruption. Well, I was wrong. This book only shows what one individual's thoughts and actions were at the time of their crimes. This book could have been excellent had it showed how corruption exists inside a police force in general. instead the author chose to write from an individual standpoint.
