About this ebook
The author of LAbyrinth exposes the cover-up surrounding Biggie Smalls' murder with exclusive material from the FBI and his estate's wrongful death suit.
In his 2002 book LAbyrinth, acclaimed music journalist Randall Sullivan revealed the story of "gangsta cops" tied to Marion "Suge" Knight's rap label, Death Row Records—and allegedly to the murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. Now in Dead Wrong, Sullivan chronicles more than a decade in the B.I.G. investigations, and uncovers the conspiracy of silence blocking the wrongful death suit against the City.
In 2001, an eyewitness identified the man who shot Biggie as Amir Muhammad, a former college roommate of LAPD officer, Death Row associate, and convicted bank robber David Mack. Yet LAPD Detective Russell Poole found his investigation repeatedly directed away from Mack and Muhammad. Biggie's estate then sued the city to find out why. But instead, investigators encountered a disturbing pattern of selective investigation, hidden evidence, and possible witness tampering.
Exclusive interviews with the FBI's lead investigator of the Biggie murder demonstrate a conspiracy that went to the top, and which implicates some of the most powerful men in law enforcement nationally. Dead Wrong is a gripping investigation into murder, police corruption, and the corridors of power in Los Angeles.

This is a well-researched book and it is well written. Russell Poole was an honest, dedicated LAPD police officer who was badly treated because he sought the truth. Dead Wrong sets the record straight. Mr. Sullivan is a good writer who should be commended for his courage. His book is well worth your time.
