The explosive true story of America's most corrupt police unit,
the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), that terrorized the city of
Baltimore for half a decade.
NOTE: We are waiting on additional copies of this book, so orders placed today will ship or become available for pickup later this week.
When Baltimore police sergeant Wayne Jenkins said he had a monster,
he meant he had found a big-time drug dealer—one that he wanted to
rob. This is the story of Jenkins and the Gun Trace Task Force
(GTTF), a super group of dirty detectives who exploited some of
America’s greatest problems: guns, drugs, toxic masculinity, and
hypersegregation.
In the upside-down
world of the GTTF, cops were robbers and drug dealers were the
perfect victims, because no one believed them. When the federal
government finally arrested the GTTF for robbery and racketeering in
2017, the stories of victims began to come out, revealing a vast
criminal enterprise operating within the Baltimore Police Department.
Cops planted heroin
to cover up a fatal crash that resulted from a botched robbery. They
stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, faked video evidence, and
forged a letter trying to break up the marriage of one of their
victims to keep his wife from paying a lawyer. And a homicide
detective was killed the day before he was scheduled to testify
against the crooked cops.
I Got a Monster
is the shocking history of the rise and fall of the most corrupt cops
in America from Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg.
