Samenvatting	At the heart of this gripping novel is a true story: Many years ago a decision made at the highest levels of the NYPD opened the floodgates to massive corruption that inevitably accompanied the staggering flow of "bad money" that came from drug trafficking. In Pigtown, the immense weight of that fateful decision comes down on one detective lieutenant, Matthew Stuart, and his loyal and resourceful crew of fellow cops in the Seven One Detective Squad. Part of their turf is a little enclave in Brooklyn called Pigtown, because until quite recently people actually kept pigs and other animals there and had small market gardens. Pigtown is jerked out of its sleepy obscurity when, in one of its ramshackle old houses, the body of a very dead Mafia wise guy turns up in a refrigerator. The ... (Lees verder)investigation of the hit on Beansy Rutolo opens up a volcanic fissure in the NYPD, and the resulting corruption that is revealed puts Stuart and his cops in mortal peril. They don't have to worry about the Mafia - it's their fellow cops who are trying to bury them.
