Two Cops. One Mafia. Zero Rules.

In this explosive sit down, I talk with journalist and author Michael Cannell about the jaw-dropping true story behind his new book, Blood and the Badge — the untold tale of two NYPD detectives who became deeply entangled with the Mafia, crossing every line imaginable. We’re not talking about just turning a blind eye — these were cops who became criminals, working hand-in-hand with organized crime while hiding behind their badges.

As someone who lived that life, I’ve seen a lot — but this story even shocked me. Cannell’s research is next level, and together we peel back the layers of corruption, loyalty, betrayal, and murder that tied law enforcement to the mob in ways you’ve never heard before.

If you thought you knew how deep the corruption ran… think again.
