Özet

Operation Greylord was the longest and most successful undercover investigation in FBI history, and the largest corruption bust ever in the US. It resulted in bribery and tax charges against 103 judges, lawyers, and other court personnel, and, eventually, more than 70 indictments. And it was led by Terrence Hake, a young assistant prosecutor in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in Chicago, who worked undercover for nearly four years, accepting bribes, making payoffs, wearing a wire in bars and to racetracks, bugging a judge's chambers, and befriending people he knew he would betray.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"True crime narratives don't get much more suspenseful than Hake's account of his covert work to expose the endemic corruption in the Chicago court system." ( Publishers Weekly)

Thoroughly engrossed by this book - very well read too
The author was incredibly brave to stand up for honesty in the courts which were so corrupt

Shocking but fascinating

A good story for a newspaper column but not gripping enough for a book. You get the gist early on in the book and it just becomes duller and duller.... please let this end I thought with more than half the book remaining
