Uncovering the Untold Struggles Behind the Badge: A Riveting Journey Through Duty, Marriage, and Family
The Badge Between Us is an eclectic confluence of street and sweet; Dwyer’s intimate memoir wrapped in a true-crime classic. The book seduces the reader’s imagination with seedy scenes starring “roaches in bodega video poker machines,” mobsters with colorful names like Nicky “Cigars” Marangello, Richie “Shellackhead” Cantarella, and Joey “The Mook” D’Amico, and blotto cops crashing cars on the Verrazano Bridge.
But wait! The Badge Between Us also crafts poignant imagery of a cop’s oldest daughter (Siobhan) bringing a late-night piece of her high school graduation cake to her over-worked-on-the-edge dad, while he compulsively examined evidence in preparation his next morning’s federal court testimony in connection with a New York City Mafia case.
