In 1979, the gruesome slaying of a thirteen-year-old boy riveted the suburbs of Suffolk County, New York. As the county hustled to bring the case to a dubious resolution, a wayward local teenager emerged with a convenient story to tell. For his cooperation, Jimmy Burke was rewarded with a job as a cop. Thus began Burke’s unlikely ascent to the top of one of the country’s largest law enforcement jurisdictions. He and a crew of likeminded allies utilized vengeance, gangster tactics, and political leverage to become the most powerful and feared figures in their suburban empire.

This was an excellent book, and Gus Garcia-Roberts did a deep dive into the long-standing corruption between the SCPD its IAD and the DA, with its genesis being an unlikely meeting between a young James Burke and Tom Spota decades earlier, and their ultimate downfall.It is a very good read for anyone unfamiliar with the story, but if you are from Suffolk county it is mind-blowing!
