Exhaustively researched . . . The most thorough examination of these much-publicized events." --<i>Boston Globe</i></b></p> <p>In September 1996, Tupac Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. In March 1997, the Notorious B.I.G. was similarly shot after an awards show in Los Angeles. Neither crime has ever been solved. Also in 1997, highly decorated LAPD detective Russell Poole uncovered evidence that certain officers in the department were moonlighting for Death Row Records--and, when he was placed on the task force assigned to the Notorious B.I.G.'s murder, evidence that these same men were linked to the murders. The first book to bring this story out of the shadows, <i>LAbyrinth</i> received critical acclaim, ignited a firestorm of controversy, and prompted two lawsuits against the LAPD. Now the basis for the major motion picture <i>City of Lies</i> and updated with new material from the author, <i>LAbyrinth</i> is a compelling tale of a grave miscarriage of justice.</p> <p><b>"Sullivan does a masterly job of juggling the dense thicket of facts . . .
