A jail warden with a black belt and a background in international security and anti-terrorism, he took a substantial pay cut to become a beat cop on the streets of Times Square in 1986. In the 1990s, as the city's Commissioner of Correction, he ended the hellish violence at Rikers Island and transformed it into a model of its kind. For, even as he was driven to seek justice in every corner of the world, this extraordinary man never looked back until he reached the top. Today, as Kerik directs a police force of 55,000 -- the largest municipal force in the world -- his battles continue.And yet Bernard Kerik's greatest battle was not pitched on tough city streets, but within himself. Kerik is a poignant tale with lessons for all about what it means to be a good and brave man, and just how each of us should aspire to those ideals. A fearless narcotics detective, he went undercover to buy drugs in Harlem, seized millions of dollars of cocaine from the drug lords of the Cali cartel, and was awarded the Police Department's Medal of Valor for saving the life of a fellow officer.

And when he did, he faced the greatest unsolved case of his life -- the tragic mystery of his own mother, who abandoned her young son forty-one years ago.The odyssey of Bernard B.
