Chronicles of a Rochester Major Crimes Detective: Confronting Evil & Pursuing Truth Book

Patrick Crough served more than 20 years as a Monroe County Major Crimes Detective, where he investigated some of the region's most tragic crimes. He confronted horrific acts, like that of a Valentine's Day killing rampage that left four people dead, as well as the case against Ed Laraby, the serial rapist who terrorized women in Rochester and Monroe County. Yet, there are also stories of courage and sacrifice—strangers coming to the aid of those in peril, parents who laid down their lives to save their children and the everyday heroism of those who put violent criminals behind bars. In these pages, Crough details four of his most memorable cases in which he defied evil and pursued justice.
