From the dj, 'Society bestows upon the police the job of enforcing our notions of right against wrong. Young and enthusiastic, Detective Bob Leuci seemed perfectly suited to his special job as team leader in the Special Investigating Unit of the narcotics division of the New York Police Department. This is his story. In the early 1970's, the Federal Government undertook to investigate corruption penetrating the entire criminal justice system in New York. Leuci became the focal point of this inquiry. He had enjoyed a swift rise from patrolman to the rank of detective. Operating in the street world of junkies and dealers, he and his colleagues enjoyed a special status. They worked in an atmosphere almost totally unsupervised - their only reward the bounty they turned in, in the form of arrests and narcotics. The federal prosecutors needed an undercover agent to probe this world of corruption. Leuci, a man of troubled conscience, would became that agent. From the moment he began, he walked a tightrope that made his life a nightmare. He put caes together against lawyers, bail bondsmen, mob figures and his own partners, thus breaking the cop's most sacred code. With little preparation he found himself forced to probe his own past and its disturbing contradictions... Robert Daley served as a New York Deputy Police Commissioner in 1971-72. He is the author of fifteen books, among them Target Blue and To Kill A Cop.' Price: 20.00 USD
