Description:
THE CLASSIC TRUE STORY
OF THE COP WHO COULDN'T BE BOUGHT.
With an Afterword by
Frank Serpico.
The 1960s was a time of
social and generational upheaval felt with particular intensity in the melting
pot of New York City. A culture of corruption pervaded the New York Police
Department, where payoffs, protection, and shakedowns of gambling rackets and
drug dealers were common practice. The so-called blue code of silence protected
the minority of crooked cops from the sanction of the majority.
Into this maelstrom came
a working class, Brooklyn-born, Italian cop with long hair, a beard, and a
taste for opera and ballet. Frank Serpico was a man who couldn't be silenced – or
bought – and he refused to go along with the system. He had sworn an oath to
uphold the law, even if the perpetrators happened to be other cops. For this
unwavering commitment to justice, Serpico nearly paid with his life.
"I don't think
anyone can come away from Serpico without admiration for one man's lonely
integrity." – New York Times.
"A penetrating . .
. exciting story." – San Francisco Chronicle.
"[A] raw and moving
portrait." – Chicago Sun-Times.
"An absorbing story
of what one angry, honest man can do." – Detroit News.
"Excellent."
– Newsweek.
