| Summary |
In the early 1970s, Officer Frank Serpico made headlines when he blew the whistle on a culture of bribery and corruption within the New York City Police Department. Now, Serpico tells his story in his own words: from his Italian-American roots in Brooklyn to his disillusionment with the NYPD to his riveting account of a dramatic drug bust, and possible set-up that ended with him being shot in the face. |
