The WRONG arm of the law!

This is an extemely tragic case which chronicles the despicable actions of a truly diabolical individual. How so much evil can be concentrated into one man defies comprehension. A portion of the blame concerning the lack of resolution to the murder implications surrounding this man must surely lie with his kinfolk, since like a Mafia family, they have taken a vow of secrecy. Their co-operation with the authorities seems to be grudging and minimal, with little compassion shown toward the many victims. The best ticket ever written in the life of Robert Fioretti was written when he was sentenced to a substantial prison term. I was also surprised to read that even the infamous mob boss John Gotti, on whose orders many man have been executed, was as deeply offended by this wife beater, child molester, murderer and thief as all decent human beings are. Fortunately, in the end, Robert Fioretti, who once enforced the law as a police officer, eventually had the law enforced upon him.

As a witness...

I am a resident of the small Bronx community where this heinous crime took place. I am also unfortunate enough to have known the family and Robert Fioretti first-hand. Being friends with the step-daughters and reading this book sends chills up my spine. I felt it was an accurate description of most of the true story. To the readers who have no idea of our town or this man, I feel it is a scary story and well worth reading if you're into true-crime. It just goes to show what some people in certain professions can get away with.

Terrific!

I've been looking for resources on the Robert Fioretti case and came upon Mr. Volkman's book. This was a well researched book and very easy to follow. I get the impression that Mr. Volkman has worked with detectives and police officers, not to mention numerous materials to bring this book together. Excellent reporting - this is a real page turner!
