He was one of the most decorated cops in the history of NYPD. From
his "wiseguy" relatives, he learned the meaning of honor and
loyalty. From his fellow cops, he learned the meaning of betrayal.
"MAFIA COP"
His father, Ralph "Fat the Gangster" Eppolito, was stone-cold
Mafia hit-man. Lou Eppolito, however, chose to live by different
code; he chose the uniform of NYPD. And he was one of the best -- a
good, tough, honest cop down the line. Butu even his sterling
record, his headline-making heroism, couldn't protect him when the
police brass decided to take him down. Although completely
exonerated of charges that he had passed secrets to the mob, Lou
didn't stand a chance. They had taken something from him they
couldn't give back: his dignity and his pride.
Now, here's the powerful story, told in Lou Eppolito's own
words, of the bloody Mafia hit that claimed his uncle and
cousin...of his middle-of-the-night meeting with "Boss of Bosses"
Paul Castellano...of one good cop who survived eight shootouts and
saved hundreds of victims, who was persecuted, prosecuted, and
ultimately betrayed by his own department. Full of hard drama and
gritty truth, "Mafia Cop" gives a vivid, inside look at life in the
Family, on the force, and on the mean streets of New York.
