Bob Leuci: All the Centurions |
From the Publisher: Leuci reminisces about cops both celebrated and notorious, like Frank Serpico, Sonny Grosso, and Frank King from the French Connection case. Also here are politicians, Mafia figures, corrupt defense lawyers, and district attorneys, including a young Rudolph Giuliani. Leuci reveals the dark side of the criminal justice system: the bitterness, greed, cruelty, and ambition that eventually overflowed into the streets, precinct houses, and courtrooms of the city. As vivid and entertaining as the best crime novels, All the Centurions is the story of a man descending into a hell of his own making who ultimately finds his way out through truth and justice Bob Leuci: All the Centurions. A New York City Cop Remembers His Years on the Street, 1961-1981. HarperCollins; ISBN: 0060781858 (July, 2005), 384 p., $14.95
