A shocking true account of corruption and criminal offense in the ranks of the NYPD in the most severe police scandal since the revelations of Fred Serpico. In the 1970s, New York City's 77th Precinct was known as "the Alamo". In Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, Brooklyn - neighborhoods notorious for drugs and violent criminal offense - a few of the worst criminals wore police outfits and carried badges. Henry Winter was a good cop when he first inserted the infamous 77th place house, that was already infamous as a home to the dregs of the NYPD. In a short time he and fellow official Anthony Magno found themselves deeply entrenched in the Alamo's culture of extortion, sits, corruption, and criminal offense - plus they were regularly supplementing their earnings by ripping off thieves, medication dealers, junkies, and honest citizens alike. But the gravy train couldn't stick to the rails permanently. Winter and Magno were trapped and experienced a damaging choice: They could betray their crooked friends and acquaintances by helping investigators expose the rot that festered at the Alamo's main - or spend the next many years behind bars. In Friend Males, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Mike McAlary blows the doors off one of the most severe scandals ever before to taint New York's uniformed guardians, the men and women sworn to protect and serve the populace. Blistering, shocking, and powerful, it's a terrifying look inside the NYPD and an eye-opening exploration of the daily temptations that can seduce a good cop over to the dark aspect.
