When those meant to uphold the law become a law unto themselves, where do we turn? Are the gung-ho guys in uniform bending the rules to lock up those who pose a genuine risk, or are they bent on sadism, like the notorious Volpe and Schwartz?
Renowned cult writer Jack Sargeant looks at notorious cases of good cops gone bad - and those who plain started out that way. Read about lone cops who couldn't take the pressure anymore and went on killing sprees, through to the corruption that spread through the Met in the 1970s.
The book also digs out the truth from the controversy surrounding the beating of Rodney King and looks at the current state of play in the LAPD. Ultimately the book poses the question: would you be any better when faced with a job dealing with an increasingly lawless society?
