Pete Thron eagerly dedicated himself to service. A proud member of the NYPD Housing department, the decorated
cop recorded over 700 arrests and 1000 assists as he tirelessly worked with the ATF HIDTA Task Force to keep the
streets clean on high-stakes undercover cases. But when a drug bust went wrong, he found
himself scapegoated by his department and sent to prison by an immoral justice system.
In this sobering and emotional autobiography, The author details his real-life experiences as an officer
of law enforcement wrongly condemned by the very people he protected. Bravely detailing how
he forged his mind and body into weapons, his harrowing account shows how unexpected battles
force decent individuals to dig deep into their souls in order to survive. Driven by well-earned anger and a
desire to shine a light in dark places, Thron offers a disquieting tale of corruption and cover-ups.
