Paperback: Kevin Maher was thirty-nine years old and living in New Jersey in 1996 when Cop Without A Badge was first published. It tracks confidential informant Kevin Maher as he helps the NYPD, the FBI, and many other law enforcement agencies solve cases that range from robbery to extortion to homicide.
What's the difference between a cop and Kevin Maher? Well, he doesn't have a badge and he doesn't play by the rules. In the process, Kevin becomes the highest paid CI the DEA ever had.
But Kevin's motives are more complicated than simply money. Having been arrested for Grand Theft Auto at the age of sixteen, his felony conviction prevents him from being what he always wanted to be: a police officer. So now he's out to prove to himself he truly is what he could've been.
A cop but one without a badge.
Maher now works as a private investigator in the state of California.
