Prince of the City: The True Story of a Cop Who Knew Too Much
"A morality tale, at once tense, dangerous and in the end tragic. The Knapp Commission's "Investigation into Alleged Police Corruption" is in session. A troubled detective, Robert Leuci, agrees to work for the Commission, to go undercover to gather evidence, but with stipulations. The whole system is corrupt from top to bottom, he avers, lawyers, prosecutors, bondsmen, judges, Mafia bigwigs. He will go after all of them with pleasure, but he won't work against cops, and he won't go near his former partners. His offer is accepted, and the long, intricate, multipronged investigation begins. It goes on for more than a year, becoming increasingly perilous for Leuci. But his own past is too dark, the investigation goes into areas he can't control and in the end he is forced by his masters to betray partners he has kicked down doors with, men he loves, probably, more than his own wife. His anguished cry becomes: "You're asking me to put to death my best friends."
