"[An] engrossing, damning tale of widespread unchecked corruption
in one of the nation's largest police departments, one that
deserves attention . . . Exhaustively researched . . . The most
thorough examination of these much-publicized events."--Boston
Globe, on LAbyrinth In 2002, acclaimed journalist Randall
Sullivan's groundbreaking book LAbyrinth ignited a firestorm with
its startling disclosures about corruption in the LAPD. It told the
story of Russell Poole, a highly decorated LAPD detective, who
uncovered a cabal of "gangsta cops" tied to Marion "Suge" Knight's
notorious rap label, Death Row Records, and allegedly to the
murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. Over twenty years
later, no one has been held accountable for their killings. Now
Dead Wrong tells the story of the last sixteen years in the B.I.G.
investigations, and uncovers the conspiracy of silence that met the
estate's wrongful death suit against the City. Back in 2001, an
eyewitness identified the man who shot Biggie as Amir Muhammad, a
man who was former LAPD officer, Death Row associate, and convicted
bank robber David Mack's college roommate and the only man to visit
him in prison. Poole's investigation was repeatedly directed away
from Mack and Muhammad, and the wrongful death lawsuit sought to
make the city explain why--but instead, investigators encountered a
disturbing pattern of selective investigation, hidden evidence, and
possible witness tampering. Exclusive interviews with the FBI's
lead investigator of the Biggie murder demonstrate a conspiracy
that went to the top, and which implicates some of the most
powerful men in law enforcement nationally. A gripping
investigation into murder, police corruption, and the corridors of
power in Los Angeles, Dead Wrong is full of shocking revelations
about a mystery that continues to hold us twenty years on.
