Circle of Six: The True Story of New York's Most Notorious Cop Killer and the Cop Who Risked Everything to Catch Him
- by randy jurgensen & rob cea
Circle of Six is the true story of what many consider the most notorious case in NYPD history. It details Randy Jurgensen’s relentless pursuit of justice for his fallen comrade, Patrolman Phillip Cardillo.
In 1972, in the midst of an all-out assault by the Black Liberation Army on the NYPD, Cardillo was ambushed and murdered inside Harlem’s Mosque #7. New York of this era was akin to the Wild West, a time that saw cops and criminals shoot it out on a daily basis.
With crime rampant and the city on the brink, it’s no surprise that the 1970s are now referred to as “The Bad Old Days.”
Despite mayhem on the streets and devious politics in Mayor Lindsay’s office, Detective Jurgensen refused to quit and would not be denied. He took on the Black Liberation Army, the Nation of Islam, the NYPD brass, and City Hall…
And that was just the beginning.

This book opens the eyes into the world of policing and whatb happened behind the scenes and still goes on today. It's more than cops and robbers, it's politics. When it comes down to it, most cops just want to do their job, this book exposes how hard that is sometimes. Excellent readDGonGreat book Interesting book and historyFrisco NolanGreat Book. I could not put this book down. What Randy went through is heartbreaking, sad and was unnecessary. I highly recommend this book. Wish Randy could have sued the N.Y.P.D. for millions for what they did to him.
