Cop without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover Life of Kevin Maher [NOOK Book]
( 57 )
Cop Without A Badge tracks confidential informant Kevin Maher as he helps the NYPD, the FBI, and many other law enforcement agencies solve cases that range from robbery to extortion to homicide. In the process, Kevin becomes the highest paid CI the DEA ever had.
But Kevin's motives are more complicated than simply money. Having been arrested for Grand Theft Auto at the age of sixteen, his felony conviction prevents him from being what he always wanted to be: a police officer. So now he's out to prove to himself he truly is what he could've been. A cop. Even without a badge.
Kevin Maher was 39 years old and living in New Jersey in 1996 when Cop Without A Badge was first published. Maher now works as a private investigator in the state of California.
Kevin Maher, working in conjunction with the FBI, the NYPD and the Secret Service, has helped solve more than a dozen homicides, put a regiment of Mafia soldiers behind bars, and plugged a high volume Columbia-Miami-New York cocaine pipeline. After a cop helped Maher avoid a second jail term in 1974, Maher began a dangerous undercover career that spanned two decades.

When I first heard about the book relating to one of the housewives, I was like can it be true? So I bought the book and started reading it I was blowing away and the fact that it was all true Kevin Maher was an amazing guy who went thru everything without being a cop. In two days I finshed the book but it was the best book I cant put it down, Seriouesly for each word I find myself there watching everything happen like if it was a movie

I found the book interesting, probably only because the locale. I was raised in North Jersey and recognized some of the locations.
I think the content was good, but the writing could have been better. It's a good conversation piece due to the tie in with "Desperate Housewives of New Jersey".

Bought this book because I do watch the NJ housewives and I was curious. Kevin Mayer also lived in my same neighborhood a year ago. I loved the book. If you ever met Kevin, you will never meet another like him. The book was easy to read, I finished it in 2 days...unreal story. Worth the read

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.It wasn't one of my more interesting reads, however I watched the Housewives of New Jersey and was curious about Danielle. She certainly seems to have a colorful life and I wonder how much of her life she has shared or will share with her daughtes. With her being in the public eye, things are going to come up, she might reconsider what she will do when she grows up.

What's the difference between a cop and Kevin Maher? Kevin doesn't have a badge. And he doesn't play by the rules.
