The brotherhoods

the true story of two cops who murdered for the Mafia

By Lawson, Guy & Oldham, William G.

Publishers Summary:
The chronicle of the shocking crimes of NYPD detectives Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito, notorious rogue cops found guilty in April 2006 of the ultimate form of police corruption--shielding their criminal deeds behind their badges while they worked for the mafia. Their crimes include participation in at least eight murders, kidnapping, and the betrayal of an entire generation of New York City detectives, federal agents, and prosecutors. "One of the most spectacular police corruption scandals in the city's history," proclaimed the New York Times in its front-page coverage of the jury's verdict. Written by journalist Guy Lawson and William Oldham, the brilliant detective who quietly and relentlessly investigated the rogue cops for seven years, this book provides unparalleled access to the secretive workings of both the NYPD and organized crime--their hierarchies, rituals, and codes of conduct.--From publisher description.
