Blood and the Badge: The Mafia, Two Killer Cops, and a Scandal That Shocked the Nation by Michael Cannell

4.0

This was a well-done true crime. I’d not heard of this story, but it seemed intriguing and I’m glad that I picked it up. Books with the mafia are always interesting and this one fit the bill. This is one of those stories that will stick with you because it is so appalling. What these police officers did was despicable, I can’t even imagine taking the public’s trust and turning it into what they did. This book was so well researched and written. I was captivated right from the start and couldn’t wait as the story unfolded. It was just so entertaining. The pacing is quick which really helped my engagement as well.

If you’re looking for a fascinating true crime, then you need to check this one out.
