About this listen
Acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan follows Russell Poole, a highly decorated LAPD detective who in 1997 was called to investigate a controversial cop-on-cop shooting, eventually to discover that the officer killed was tied to Marion “Suge” Knight’s notorious gangsta rap label, Death Row Records. During his investigation, Poole came to realize that a growing cadre of black officers were allied not only with Death Row, but with the murderous Bloods street gang. And incredibly, Poole began to uncover evidence that at least some of these “gangsta cops” may have been involved in the murders of rap superstars Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.
Igniting a firestorm of controversy in the music industry and the Los Angeles media, the hardcover publication of LAbyrinth helped to prompt two lawsuits against the LAPD (one brought by the widow and mother of Notorious B.I.G., the other brought by Poole himself) that may finally bring this story completely out of the shadows.

Just fascinating.
I would have liked more about Russell Poole, but it was still great. I will watch the film, which is also fantastic, again now.

As close to the truth as you'll find
I write this review on 12/22. A lot of time has passed since this publication and in that time a lot more information has come to light that supports the information in this book. However one important amendment to the 'Poole' theory is that Suge Knight did not murder Tupac Shakur. Sergio Robleto, Phil Carson, Russell Poole, Nick Broomfield and Randall Sullivan are men who's words MUST be listened to if the truth is sought. RIP BIG and PAC

Not impressed old information & racist undertones
Old information along with some racist undertones. I found myself getting annoyed with this book as it tries to paint the white officers at LAPD as good and the black ones as bad. The reality is the whole institution is rotten!! This is the same LAPD that Mark Furhman came from - A self confessed violent racist!! Russell didn’t go after him or even mention him. I’d like to give this book no stars.

Interesting but difficult listen
The story is interesting and the tangled web behind the scenes fascinating, but it’s let down by multiple occasions where the book appears to fall into lazy racial stereotypes - from the first chapter where it is implied that black officers on the force were lazy and only able to enter the force due to relaxed standards of recruitment onwards - which distracts and ultimately undermines the story being told
