A very good read!
This book gives a real close inside look at the police work environment in New York, probably reflective of the rest of the Untied States or the world, in earlier years, but not so early in decades that one cannot relate today.
Corrupt police officers, mafia, well intentioned police officers, and victims, are all depicted in this book, with a relatively happy ending. A page turning, must read!
I mean, "The True Story of Two Cops Who Murdered for the Mafia" Do you need more?
However, both Louis Eppolito and Steven and Steven Caracappa must go down as two of the most corrupt cops of all time; in any city. In addition to providing mobsters with information that led to the deaths of several people, these two creeps actually committed mob murders themselves; for money of course.
This book is well written and told from the viewpoint of Detective Oldham, who was instrumental in bringing these men to justice.
Highly recommended.

You can't help but become `involved' with the characters. I found myself liking people that I really shouldn't have. I would recommend this book to anyone with even the vaguest interest in the mafia or policing or crime.
It is just a superbly written account of an amazing true story.
