This book was incredible ! It shows how greed overpowers the will to protect the community. The Author writes how he breaks into the Former Depositors Trust bank in Medford, Massachusetts. The story tells of the secret acts they use to enter the bank's vault and remove the money. I recomend highly and on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 20 !

3.0 out of 5 stars A must read for locals, former locals, and guys from Medford..., July 6, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Cops Are Robbers (Paperback)

There was no way I wasn't going to read this book. I grew up in the Medford neighborhood where a lot of this story takes place, and was living there when the robbery happened. I've always wanted to read a book on the subject, so I'm glad to have "The Cops Are Robbers". I just wish Clemente had got himself a better ghost writer, as this is a poorly written book. Regardless, the story is fascinating enough to get you through the bad writing, so read it anyway if your a fan of the "true crime" genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!, November 19, 2007

Michael T. (Tewksbury, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cops Are Robbers (Paperback)

This book has to be one of my favorites. I enjoyed every aspect of it including the setting, characters, and accuracy of the actual event that took place. Each character has its own personality and diversity of living which brings controversy to the plot. I believe it was very successful and since I live in Tewksbury and near Boston, I have visited many of these places and can relate to the book's setting. I feel as if you pick up this book and start reading you won't be able to put it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm from Medford and know these cops and the story.
This is a very good recounting of what went on. There was a lot left out...such as witnesses (other cops) being sent out of state until things cooled off and a few other details... Read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, couldn't stop until my eyes dropped shut. A great first-hand account of police corruption in Masachusetts during the 1970's. Read more
