A chilling account concerning a gross injustice...
What Larry Nevers and his partner, Walter Budzyn, experienced is nothing short of a nightmare. It's an obscenity! In my opinion, Nevers writes in detail, with verifiable facts and information, about what ultimately led up to their wrongful conviction and incarceration. In fact, Nevers challenges readers to verify any information noted through out the book. I found it to be a difficult book to put down. A must read for anyone who is a law enforcement officer...

I finally read the book as I only learned of its existence about 2 months ago. (I only wish I knew of it a lot sooner!) The book is excellent! Well written and very detailed!
I know there is likely nothing that can be done to change what Larry and Walter went through but at least take comfort in the fact that Larry's book is out there to tell this incredible story. A lot of people already have read this book. And I am certain many more will read it too!
Thanks to Larry for getting his story out there for all the world to see. Trust in the fact I will be, (and already have been), recommending his book to others when the opportunity presents itself. If it were up to me, I think anyone in the LE profession working the streets "just doing their
job" in America today definitely need to read this book! Take care & may God bless Larry, Walter and their families.

Larry you did a great job with the book. I could not put it down.
It goes to show you that when politics get involved nothing good can come of it. Larry and Walter (Police Officers "Just doing their job.") were railroaded and should have been given opportuity for a board of review and were put through the ringer and stripped of their badge, gun, and dignity.
Thanks Larry for your courage in writing this book and telling the public the truth. Take care and God Bless Larry, Walter and their families.

I wasn't going to buy the book because I thought I knew everything that had happened. However my brother bought the book and after reading it himself, he passed it along to me.
I have to say I had forgotten a lot of what had happened after the night of November 5th.....I don't know, maybe I blocked a lot of it out. But once I got into this book the injustice of the way Nevers and Budzyn were treated came rushing back.
Not only does Larry tell you the sequence of events of that night and of what happened afterwards, but he tells you what was going on in his heart and of the heartbreak he felt by the betrayal of the city and police department he once loved and had devoted his life to.
This is a story of racism but not in the way you might expect. You'll get a first hand look in how the black leadership of a major American city used the power and resources at their disposal, to ensure the conviction of two white police officers of murder and of the steps they took to deny them a fair and impartial trial.
This incredulous story true and it is a story you won't want to believe. This page turner is one you have to buy and is one you won't be able to put down.
