THE MAN WHO ROCKED THE BOAT

Hardback, 1st US edn. Quite aside from its exciting readability, and explosive implications, this book represents a disturbing picture of a widely prevalent attitude on the part of some law enforcement and investigative agencies in the US. In this extraordinary personal story, Keating takes the reader behind the scenes in a DA's office and shows how police may be dictated by political expediency or sensitivity to public criticism. He exposes the combination of cynicism, complacency, apathy and worse that often motivates the investigation and prosecution of crime. Includes the first prosecution of New York racketeers. 296pp. 8vo. h/back. Vg+
