But, as a tough-as-nails cop, he had other ideas and was not about to roll over for the police brass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough it seems more like a Hollywood movie, this real-life story of Castro's efforts to prove his innocence is an unprecedented look at wanton acts of police misconduct and rampant corruption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNYPD Blue Lies has it all: Castro's controversial ex-wife (also a cop) who posed for Playboy magazine; police executions ; gunfights; hostage-taking; backstabbing; gossip; brawling; group sex; racism... It's a darker side of New York's Finest, as well as a scathing look at America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving served under three New York City mayors and a parade of police commissioners, Castro has come to recognize one common thread connecting them all: their utter lack of leadership for both the city they served and the heroes in blue they were sworn to command.","brand":"Charles Castro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078601097456,"sku":"2940012115744","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012115744_p0.jpg?v=1763552532","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012115744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
