Real Life 'Sopranos' Exposed In Mike Russell's New Book 'Undercover Cop'
Sherryl Connelly at the New Daily News offers a piece on Mike Russell, the undercover police officer who has written a new book.
Mike Russell has quite a story to tell in “Undercover Cop: How I Brought Down the Real-Life Sopranos.” The former New Jersey state trooper unleashed hell on the mob in the form of 200 cops who took down 45 wiseguys on Sept. 26, 1986.
They all pleaded guilty.
