Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Lawrence DeVol was in trouble with the police from the age of ten when he was confined in a juvenile facility. During his years of crime he committed burglaries, armed robberies and murders in eleven states throughout the Midwest. Eleven people met his guns and died violently at his hands, six of them being police officers protecting their communities and others when he was hired to murder them. During his career he escaped from three county jails, one state prison and one state hospital for the criminally insane. For the last few years of his life he was a member of one of the most notorious gangs of the 20s and 30s known as the Barker-Karpis gang. This gang committed bank robberies in several states, taking in over $600,000 in cash and bonds, a huge amount for the times. After killing two police officers during a Minneapolis bank robbery, he was captured in St. Paul. Given a life sentence, he escaped from a state hospital for the criminally insane and continued his reign of terror with a series of bank robberies until cornered in Enid, Oklahoma. One police officer was killed and two others wounded before Lawrence DeVol met his death at the hands of police guns at the age of only thirty-two.

The Grand Master of Mystery delivers “nerve-end-entertainment” when two of New York’s finest set out to become two of New York’s richest (Kirkus Reviews). Tom and Joe have been walking the beat on the mean streets of the Big Apple longer than they can remember—or care to. They’ve been good cops, protecting the public and holding the line against crime and chaos in a city that has plenty of both. And all they have to show for it is a whole lot of nothing. But now the partners have devised a scheme to make all their dreams come true: the perfect heist. Tom and Joe are going to rob the fat cats on Wall Street for millions and walk away clean. With the right connections and the proper execution, there’s no way their plan can fail. And that’s why they’re so surprised when everything goes totally, hysterically wrong . . . With Cops and Robbers, the three-time Edgar Award–winning author, named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, offers “another very hot and successful” novel with “a siren shrill finale” (Kirkus Reviews). Praise for Donald E. Westlake “Westlake has no peer in the realm of comic mystery novelists.” —San Francisco Chronicle “No writer can excel Donald E. Westlake.” —Los Angeles Times

When Harvard-trained sociologist Peter Moskos left the classroom to become a cop in Baltimore's Eastern District, he was thrust deep into police culture and the ways of the street--the nerve-rattling patrols, the thriving drug corners, and a world of poverty and violence that outsiders never see. In Cop in the Hood, Moskos reveals the truths he learned on the midnight shift. Through Moskos's eyes, we see police academy graduates unprepared for the realities of the street, success measured by number of arrests, and the ultimate failure of the war on drugs. In addition to telling an explosive insider's story of what it is really like to be a police officer, he makes a passionate argument for drug legalization as the only realistic way to end drug violence--and let cops once again protect and serve. In a new afterword, Moskos describes the many benefits of foot patrol--or, as he calls it, "policing green."
