Editor reviews

In this captivating work, Richard Stanley Cagan exposes the saga of New York City narcotics detective Michael Palermo and his ties to the world of organized crime. Kevin Stillwell gives a tremendous performance, intoning with a grit and vigor that serves to enhance these scenes of NYPD corruption and the intrigue of underground crime families. He is especially adept at portraying the various characters that appear throughout, making each one distinct and memorable. Like classic New York film noir such as The French Connection, Mafia Cop places the listener in the middle of all the heart-stopping action.

Summary

Detective Michael Palermo built his career on his unique ability to inhabit two worlds at once: the world of law enforcement and the underworld of New York’s crime family organizations. Palermo participated in over 2,000 arrests while maintaining close relationships with the kingpins of organized crime - ties that allowed him to stay one step ahead of the rest of the New York City Police Department.

This true crime drama takes you inside the police force at its most corrupt and into the dark and dirty world of dons, consiglieres, underbosses, button men, soldiers, and cowboys.

Nice story

Story is light on facts such as saying Nicky Barnes was murdered also not that much depth of research into it

i enjoyed it more as it went on

it was slow to start but as I listened I started to enjoy.
I couldn't find any corroborating evidence on the Internet to confirm these things actually happened

Good story, terrible description

a few times I was going to give up on this book. it has a good story but the author spends far too much time describing things around the facts. 50% of this book is a good story but the other 50% is alot of jabbering nonsense.

Brilliant book, very captivating.

I will admit that I nearly turned the book off in the beginning because I felt like I was stuck in an over discriptive whirlwind. However this was just part of the intro and one chapter 1 began I was hooked from the start.
This book had me waiting in the car at various destinations, just to conclude what was going off in the story, before I could turn it off and go about my day.

Really dull narration.

Having just finished Mafia Butcher this one is way too dull and hard to listen to, needs new narration.
