Epic in scope and captivating in detail, the spellbinding story of a massive scandal from its very roots. You will be shocked by the twists in this story and the brazenness of its villains. But you won't be able to put it down.-- Evan Ratliff, author of The Mastermind Jimmy the King is an engrossing, play-by-play account of a law-enforcement scandal involving corruption so brazen it would be hard to believe if it weren't so thoroughly reported.-- Christopher Goffard, author of Dirty John and Other True Stories Jimmy the King is an extraordinary piece of modern reporting that uses the dubious rise and violent fall of former Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke as a window into one of the most vice-ridden and corrupt departments in the country. . . . The best researched and most captivating piece of investigative journalism that I've read in quite some time.-- Lauren Wilkinson, author of American Spy Jimmy the King is the kind of true-crime book we don't get enough of: thoroughly reported, and engagingly written, and set in a downwardly mobile suburban world that is too often misunderstood. Highly recommended!-- Nate Blakeslee, New York Times-bestselling author of American Wolf and Tulia If Martin Scorsese were to write a true-crime expose about crooked cops, it would read like Jimmy the King.-- Michael Imperioli, The Sopranos and Goodfellas
