An Abundance of Hate

By RICHARD S. MALLAZZO

THE AUTHOR: RICHARD S. MALLAZZO IS A RETIRED NEW YORK CITY POLICE LIEUTENANT WITH
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE IN SUCH PLACES AS BROWNSVILLE-EAST NEW
YORK, ROCKAWAY BEACH, SPANISH HARLEM AND THE SOUTH BRONX. HE IS THE
FATHER OF SIX, BUT WISHES TO KEEP HIS PERSONAL LIFE PRIVATE.

THE BOOK: ALTHOUGH INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY, THE DETECTIVES AND OTHER POLICE
PERSONNEL ARE FICTIONAL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW. THE PERPETRATORS
AND THEIR CRIMES ARE REAL. THE MAIN ANTAGONIST OF THIS STORY IS SO FILLED
WITH HATE, THAT THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY ROOM IN HIS HEART FOR THE GRAND-
MOTHER WHO RAISED HIM. THE 1950's AND EARLY '60s WERE KNOWN AS THE
AGE OF INNOCENCE, WHERE A SLOW ROCK AND ROLL SONG COULD BE ABOUT
LOVE FOUND, LOVE LOST, AND FOUND AGAIN; WHERE YOU ACTUALLY HELD
YOUR PARTNER WHEN YOU DANCED. BUT SOUTH OF THE MASON-DIXON LINE
WAS DIFFERENT. IT WAS WHERE THE "NEGRO", ( YES THAT'S WHAT BLACKS WERE
REFERRED TO THEN), WAS TREATED WITH LESS RESPECT THAN THE FAMILY PET.
WHICH SETS THE STAGE FOR NEW YORK CITY TO BECOME THE IRE OF THIS STORY'S
ANTAGONIST.

IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT THE READING OF A SUSPECT'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
AGAINST SELF INCRIMINATION DID NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL AFTER THE U.S.
SUPREME COURT'S RULING IN MIRANDA v ARIZONA, ON JUNE 13, 1966.
THEREFORE, THE TACTICS USED IN THE QUESTIONING OF PRISONERS IN THE
CASES CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK WERE COMPLETELY LEGAL AT THE TIME.
