"War of the Godfathers" is historical fiction. Some of the characters were already dead within the timeframe in which the book was set. Roemer had a lot of balls passing that crap off as "true crime." It belongs on the "mystery" shelf within the fiction section of your local bookstore. But Roemer was an ex-Fed who had enough clout to hook up with a big publisher and dupe the public. The guy is dead, so I really don't want to knock him, but he was everything that's wrong with cops-turned-authors and the publishing business.
