“Cop Without a Badge” Re-issued, More Excerpts | ABSURD TO SUBLIME.
There are excerpts at the above link from the book Cop Without A Badge by Charles Kipps.
Reports note that the book has been reissued, due to Danielle Staub of The Real Housewives of New Jersey being a person profiled in that book (which is actually about the exploits of her first ex-husband, Kevin Maher).
Staub was charged over 20 years ago, with crimes related to a kidnapping for ransom related to a cocaine deal gone bad. According to the book, at that time, Staub was a stripper with an endless hunger for cocaine. Staub was then known as “Beverly Merrill”, but has since changed her name.
However, after reading those excepts, is my opinion that the book is horribly written. It is so badly written, in fact, that I wouldn’t waste my money on it, even though I am interested in the subject matter and collect all kinds of books.
I guess at least now we don’t have to wonder why the book went out of print in the first place. LOL
I actually just finished reading the book “Cop Without A Badge”. It was a very interesting book to say the least. As far as the story line surrounding Beverly Merrill, it is not a big one. You actually have to get to the end of the book to hear her name even mentioned. If you like true crime books I would definately read it.
