Cop Hunter: Cop Hunter

Vincent Murano. Pocket Books, $4.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-66959-1

New York City cop Murano joined the Internal Affairs Division in 1976 to police the police; he uncovered officers guilty of bribery, armed robbery, drug dealing and murder, but the force, fearful of negative publicity, dismissed the wrongdoers without convicting them. PW called this a ``startling, convincing expose.'' (July)
