The Brotherhoods
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A riveting account of two rogue cops who freelanced themselves to the Luchese crime family for years and got away with it until a cadre of dedicated investigators compiled the evidence to put them away. The book gives a detailed description of day to day life in the NYPD and the mob. Martin Scorcese should be looking for a cast for a blockbuster movie.

I happen to just love the work that these two guys did on this book about Lou Eppolito and the other bad cop. I am in the book on pages 358 throu 364 I am Jane McCormick. I had dealing with Mr Eppolito for 3 years. He was a good con man and he conned $45,000 from me . He said if you cant trust a cop who can you trust! Jane harvey was the name I used in Vegas. I am writting my true life story. It is already done but it is being edited now and will be plublished in a few mos. I am hopping to get it on this wonderful web site soon.I have a wonderful writer that is writing But this book will tell it as it really was in Vegas in the 60s and 70s
A fantastic read...

Having followed the trial and watched the two cops speak on the news and on 60 Minutes asserting their innocence, it was incredible to read what these psychopathic killers actually did over the last twenty years using their cover as NYPD detectives. As a New York resident it was astounding to learn what was going on on the streets just blocks away..murders, kidnapping, drug wars..all the more unbelievable because the events actually happened. The book gives us details and insights into both worlds; the fraternity of the NYPD, and the degenerating culture of the Mafia. It is a big, sprawling, gritty story- one of those books that has you running home from work to crack into it and see what happens next.
Incredibly horrifying and fascinating

This book is even more incredible because every word of it is true. The idea that NYPD cops were able to commit such heinious crimes and get away with it for so long is just plain scary. An excellent read!
