Author Event: The Thin Blue Lie: an Honest Cop vs. the FBI

When Greg Dillon is assigned to a federal fugitive task force in Connecticut, he inadvertently uncovers a pattern of misconduct and falsified affidavits. After reporting his concerns to the politically connected but incompetent chief state's attorney, the whistleblower finds himself a target of reprisal. Investigated, transferred, demoted, and threatened, Dillon hires an attorney, and--with the assistance of legendary whistleblower Frank Serpico--takes on both the state of Connecticut and the Department of Justice in federal court, resulting in an explosive verdict and a landmark federal court decision. But then the retaliation continued... Characters within this non-fiction book include John Bailey, Richard Blumenthal, John Rowland, Dr. Henry Lee and the legendary NY police whistleblower Frank Serpico. Books will be available for sale and signing.
