In Behind the Badge: Her Story, author Antoinette James deftly combines a searing behind-the-scenes account of political and police corruption in the Motor City of the early 2000s with her own trauma-studded personal journey as a sexual abuse survivor, and single mother of three. As a Detroit cop, James worked undercover in prostitution sting operations and on the executive protection detail for the mayor's family. She soon ran up against the corrupt blue code of silence embraced by a network of police officials, politicians, and even preachers. In her personal life, she navigated problematic romantic entanglements, chaotic family dynamics, and financial struggles while remaining determined to pursue her childhood dreams.
