Two decorated NYPD detectives with access to the department's most sensitive information, Louie Eppolito and Steve Caracappa sold their badges to the Mafia—and became murderers for the mob.
The most dangerous corrupt cops in American history, they left behind a pile of bodies when they retired in the early 1990s. For more than a decade it looked as if they were going to get away with it—until Detective Tommy Dades and Brooklyn Assistant DA Mike Vecchione turned a seemingly dead-end investigation into one of New York City's greatest law-and-order stories.
For the first time, the complete and shocking truth can be told of the historic case that rocked the world of law enforcement.

Friends of the Family
I actually give this book 4.5 stars. This is a great true-crime story, about two of the most corrupt and dirty cops in the history of the NYPD. The book details the dogged and determined quest by a team of New York cops and Brooklyn DA's to bring to justice the two rogue detectives, who were virtually on the payroll of Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, a capo in the Lucchese crime family. The story is told brilliantly, and I was quickly immersed in both the horrible tales of corruption and violence which the bad cops had perpetrated; as well as in the unbelievably challenging job faced by the good cops and prosecutors, if they were to have any chance of bringing the bad guys to justice.
The book gives us tremendous insights into the nature of organized crime, big-city law enforcement, the constant temptation to corruption to which so many officers are exposed, the personal toll which the quest for justice takes on those who dare to challenge corruption in high places, and the non-stop lack of cooperation which exists between state and federal law enforcement.
If you enjoy true-crime stories, you will love this book. I highly recommend it.
