About the Author
Recenzii
Terry Dwyer has written a moving memoir of his two plus decades as a police officer. It moves artfully between public and private, from an unfiltered, detailed, and evocative presentation of the successful investigation and prosecution of a violent criminal gang, to a depiction of the stresses upon his family caused by the frustrations and miseries of a career in law enforcement.
This book explores the personal challenges, sacrifices, and dedication of the author in his duties as a police officer. Highly recommended for all readers.
An eclectic confluence of street and sweet; Dwyer's intimate memoir wrapped in a true-crime classic.
Terry Dwyer's The Badge Between Us is a riveting account from a man of strong character and ideals who becomes a New York State Trooper to enforce the law and do good in the world. A standup cop and a devoted family man, he rises to the rank of investigator and begins working organized crime investigations, murders, and gang cases, to name a few. But along the way, he is stymied time and again by corruption and complicity from within his own ranks all the way up the chain of command to Albany. Dwyer's struggles to navigate his sense of duty, his ethics, morality, and loyalty to the badge he's sworn to uphold as his nerves, his sense of self and his marriage strain to the brink of breaking, makes for propulsive reading.
Terrence P. Dwyer's memoir, The Badge Between Us, is a raw, heartfelt, and simmeringly honest journey into the life and mind of a criminal investigator in a dark moment of American history. At times bleak and foreboding, at other times shimmering with hope, the story is driven by Dwyer's uncanny willingness to dissect his own psychology, for good or bad. The stakes here are incredibly high: not only the lives of New York citizens and the criminals who prey on them, but also the soul of a man who stands between them, and the soul of the family that-across decades-persists in drawing him back from the dark, urban abyss of his life's work. These emotional dynamics make for an incredibly compelling read, and signal the arrival of a talented writer, one truly capable of narrating the lives that exist at the edges of our nation's shadows.
