Cop Hunter: The Shocking True Story of Corrupt Cops and the Man Who Went Undercover to Stop Themby Vincent Murano with William Hoffer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the back cover of the book:
Vincent Murano was an elite New York City detective when his superiors offered him a job he couldn't refuse: go undercover as a mobster to root out corruption in the N.Y.P.D. Taking on the persona of small-time Mafia hood Vinnie Muscio, Murano began setting up stings to catch suspect cops. What he found was beyond his worst fears and nightmares: cops who deal weapons; cops who deal drugs; cops who kill, maim and finger potential murder victims for the mob. Suddenly Murano was walking a life and death line between criminality and the law in a swirling underground of violence. And when it was over, and he had risked his life, his family, his health and his sanity to bring the corrupt cops to justice, Murano found out the hardest truth of all: unwiling to buck "the Blue Wall," top ranking police officials were ready to let it happen all over again...
