A former NYPD detective presents an account of his undercover investigations for the NYPD Department of Internal Affairs, offering a searing expose of police corruption in New York City, its magnitude, and its impact
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
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.
After 10 years as a New York City cop, in 1976 Mauro joined the Internal Affairs Divison, which polices the police, and was shocked at what he uncovered: some officers were not only taking bribes (almost standard practice) but were also guilty of armed robbery, drug dealing and murder. Despite increasing heart problems as a result of stress, he continued to work undercover and secured evidence that should have put the offenders in prison. But he found that the police department and IAD were not interested in publicizing these cases; their chief concern was with their image and they wanted no media exposure, according to the authors. As a result, the wrongdoers were simply dismissed from the force. Writing with Hoffer ( Midnight Express ), Mauro, who retired in 1986, presents a startling, convincing expose.
