Detective Michael Palermo built his career on his unique ability to inhabit two worlds at once: the world of law enforcement and the underworld of New York’s crime family organizations. Palermo participated in over 2,000 arrests while maintaining close relationships with the kingpins of organized crime - ties that allowed him to stay one step ahead of the rest of the New York City Police Department.

This true crime drama takes you inside the police force at its most corrupt and into the dark and dirty world of dons, consiglieres, underbosses, button men, soldiers, and cowboys.

Editorial reviews

In this captivating work, Richard Stanley Cagan exposes the saga of New York City narcotics detective Michael Palermo and his ties to the world of organized crime. Kevin Stillwell gives a tremendous performance, intoning with a grit and vigor that serves to enhance these scenes of NYPD corruption and the intrigue of underground crime families. He is especially adept at portraying the various characters that appear throughout, making each one distinct and memorable. Like classic New York film noir such as The French Connection, Mafia Cop places the listener in the middle of all the heart-stopping action.

Definitely kept my attention. The narrator is so good and consistent, that it's actually like listening to various characters interacting. Good story too.

Good story, great narrator.

I had no idea that I would meet a man like this loyal, brave, and courageous detective. The title is deceiving. I've read and listened to hundreds of books and none before, or likely after, will stick with me like this one. I had no idea there were men like Michael and I know this world would be a MUCH better place IF men like him existed today. Much thanks to the author for telling his story, and to the narrator who was able to put me in a time decades before I was born and allowed me to meet some incredible people who didn't bow down to awful, powerful people - and WON. Never forget the cost of fighting back on those who dare to...THESE are the heroes that statues should be of, so that all of us understand and learn what it means to be good.

One of the best books I'll ever read/hear

This book was so well presented and performed that it was more like watching a feature film than just listening to an audio recording. Each character was developed with so much detail that I had no trouble keeping the 20 or more main characters clear in my mind as with some other books I’ve read or listened to.

Like watching a feature film!
