Excellent True Crime Book Offers a 2 in 1 Tale

GOOD COP, BAD COP tells the story of the 1989 Harris family murders committed by Michael Kinge in an upscale area of Ithaca, New York. Although, at first, state police investigators ran short on leads to who could commit such a horrendous crime only days before Christmas, with diligence and determination, eventually they landed on the doorstep of Michael Kinge, aka Anthony Michael Turner. Following a fatal shoutout between police and Kinge, and the arrest of his middle-aged mother, Shirley, the residents of Ithaca breathed a sigh of relief and again felt safe in their homes. Yet, their relief was short lived thanks to one rogue, glory-seeking cop: David Harding. Following an unsuccessful job interview with the CIA, and two years after the conviction of Shirley Kinge for the murders of the Harris family, it came to light that Harding had fabricated evidence. The ultimate question: Just how many of those convicted would walk free? How many killers would be released because an narcissistic cop? The town of Ithaca and the State of New York again held their breath while awaiting the answer! This is an excellent, true crime read. Offering a real inside view into the workings of a criminal investigation and how it can take only one cop to bring an investigation to its knees.
