Non-Fiction Memoir
He was one of the most decorated cops in the history of
NYPD. From his "wiseguy" relatives, he learned the meaning
of honor and loyalty. From his fellow cops,
he learned the meaning of betrayal.
His
father, Ralph "Fat the Gangster" Eppolito, was stone-cold
Mafia
hit-man. Lou Eppolito, however, chose to live by different
code; he
chose the uniform of NYPD. And he was one of the best -- a
good, tough,
honest cop down the line. Butu even his sterling record, his
headline-making heroism, couldn't protect him when the
police brass
decided to take him down. Although completely exonerated of
charges
that he had passed secrets to the mob, Lou didn't stand a
chance. They
had taken something from him they couldn't give back: his
dignity and
his pride. Now, here's the powerful story, told in
Lou Eppolito's
own words, of the bloody Mafia hit that claimed his uncle
and
cousin...of his middle-of-the-night meeting with "Boss of
Bosses" Paul
Castellano...of one good cop who survived eight shootouts
and saved
hundreds of victims, who was persecuted, prosecuted, and
ultimately
betrayed by his own department. Full of hard drama and
gritty truth, Mafia Cop gives a vivid, inside look
at life in the Family, on the force, and on the mean
streets of New York.
