Renaissance Cop

A good, engrossing read. An interesting story about what can happen when corrupt politicians and a few bad apples can influence the careers of well-meaning and hard-working cops.

Recommended Read

I found this to be a very enjoyable read, especially being a Seattleite. The story follows the life of a young policeman as he builds his career and family while teaming with members of his department to overturn the corruption that spans the police department and local government. Moloney compels you to read on as the vast corruption slowly unfolds, providing an interesting historical perspective about the Seattle police department along the way.

good engrossing read

this book was particularly interesting because it provides an insiders insight to the genesis of mid 20th century corruption in municipal police departments and the political system that condoned and encouraged police corruption for its own purposes.

A MUCH BETTER THAN AVERAGE BOOK ABOUT POLICE WORK NO FANTASTIC SOLVING OF CRIME LIKE PERRY MASON BUT A REALISTIC TALE OF GOOD POLICE WORK. AND THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO DO IT GOOD AND BAD. RETIRED FROM THE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER 27 YEARS. AND ARMY MILITARY POLICE RESERVE AFTER THIRTY YEARS

Blows the lid off corruption in Seattle

A novel yes, but in a real setting. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Although set in Seattle the mystery is the thing. A gripping tale of political conspiracy and murder. Keep in mind that the novel is set in a city that was actually the most corrupt for 100 years before being cleaned up. The corruption was real. Seattle was so corrupt you just know our hero has learned enough that some powerful figure wants him dead. If you like Joseph Wambaugh you will love Neil Moloney.
