The Middletown Myth brings to life the raw and gritty underbelly of a police department that once was. It has been said that the line between the mind of a criminal and that of a policeman is a very fine line. This story shows a son's dedication to finding what is true in the midst of deception surrounding a profound act of malice toward his father. As he follows the story to its end, he remains true to the sincerity and sense of justice that defined him as a child. In his journey, this son of a city cop finds the answers to long-sought questions. In the end, the line between good and evil becomes more clear, but not without a dozen mysteries being resolved, first. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN

Corruption and conspiracy in Muncie, Indiana,
By Smiley (Back home) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Middletown Myth: Based on True Events (Paperback)
A fascinating book about real-life corruption and conspiracy in Muncie, Indiana. If you lived in Muncie during the late '60s and '70s and followed local politics and current events, you'll know who many of the characters are in this book even though the names have been changed.
The story revolves around Davis' attempt to discover who planted the car bomb that nearly killed his police officer father. His quest takes him on a journey through a small-time world of corrupt politicians, corrupt labor unions, bad cops and greedy businessmen. Add an assortment of prostitutes, hit men and petty thieves and you'll see why Muncie has been nicknamed "Little Chicago."
5.0 out of 5 stars
