Cop Tales and a Mob Story - Hardcover

The streets of New York have stories most people never hear.

In Cop Tales and a Mob Story, retired detective Philip V. Bulone pulls back the curtain on the world where organized crime, street justice, and everyday police work collide. Set largely in the Bronx and surrounding neighborhoods, these gritty accounts reveal the kinds of cases that don't make the headlines but leave a lasting mark on the cops who work them.

From mob captains who believe they're untouchable, to desperate witnesses caught in the crossfire, to detectives chasing answers in a city that rarely gives them easily-each story brings readers into the unpredictable reality of life behind the badge. Some cases unfold with shocking violence. Others reveal the quieter tragedies that come from bad decisions, bad luck, or a moment that changes everything.

What ties these stories together is the relentless pursuit of truth in a world where silence, fear, and loyalty often stand in the way.

Based on real experiences and written with the authenticity only a veteran detective can provide, Cop Tales and a Mob Story is a raw, gripping look at crime, justice, and the people who walk the thin line between them.
