A suggested read on the man who fought against the mob. I found it very interesting. A committed man who made a difference.

A GOOD COP WITH A BAD GHOST WRITER A GOOD DETAIL OF ONE LAWMANS WORK AGAINST ORGANIZED CRIME. BOOK IN THE READERS VIEWPOINT IS THAT IT IS TOO HEAVILY LACED WITH KUDO'S FOR HIS PAST ASSOCIATES. FOUND LITTLE INFORMATION THAT WAS GOTTI RELATED. FEALT THE AUTHOR COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB IF THE BOOK WAS PRESENTED AS AN HONEST BIOGRAPHY OF A CRIME FIGHETER WHO BEGAN TO COME INTO GOTT
