HBO has also produced a six part series docudrama based on these events. This is absolutely excellent and impartial investigative journalism. The clear prose allows the reader to keep all the many subjects relatively clear in your mind. The writing is precise and logical and you can see in your mind's eye all that transpires over the years. The focus is on Wayne Jenkins who appeared to mastermind and bring colleagues into the fray as well as protect some friends and family to sell the drugs of all the drug busts he had committed. This group was brought down by the FBI and most culprits have been locked away for 12 to 25 years. This was a very good to excellent compiling of events in 2010's Baltimore about an elite group of plainclothes officers that got away with many years of racketeering, false arrests, corruption and led to the ruining of many lives as well as the loss of others. I am going to keep this review relatively short. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and both Faber & Faber as well as Random House Publishing for an ecopy of this book. 3.5 "detailed, fast paced, disillusioning" stars !!!
