Publisher Description

An incredible four-decade account of murder, power, and corruption in one of the country’s largest police departments
 
In 1979, the gruesome slaying of a thirteen-year-old boy riveted the suburbs of Suffolk County, New York. As the county hustled to bring the case to a dubious resolution, a wayward local teenager emerged with a convenient story to tell. For his cooperation, Jimmy Burke was rewarded with a job as a cop.
 
Thus began Burke’s unlikely ascent to the top of one of the country’s largest law enforcement jurisdictions. And while in power, Burke botched dire investigations like that of the famed Gilgo Beach serial killings and the county’s MS-13 gang scourge.
 
Until a pilfered bag of sex toys brought his empire crashing down.
 
Jimmy the King is the story of the rise, reign, and paranoiac fall of a corrupt cop and his regime. This book will leave you questioning who modern policing serves, who it protects, and who it preys upon and abandons.
