Perp Walk - John Anthony Moccia - Bog

PERP WALK
"It was the first Monday, the longest day of the month. Reporting Week had commenced and the afternoon rolled on ever so slowly. Participants on both sides of the desk met each interview with joyless anticipation. The convicted-wave upon wave of the District's federal offenders-trooped into the obscure suite of offices known almost only to them, buried down a back hallway on the first floor of the U.S. Courthouse. It was the monthly march of the felons. Known internally as the Perp Walk."
Corey Sullivan is a U.S. Probation Officer. It is his job to act as confidante, confessor and controller to his assigned caseload of gang members, racketeers, embezzlers, drug and gun traffickers, counterfeiters, bank robbers and corrupt former public officials-convicted federal criminals great and small.
When Manu Salaber comes up for supervised release from the U.S. Penitentiary at Terre Haute, Corey lobbies his boss for that assignment. Manu is both a career challenge and a career changer-a hyper-violent sadistic opportunist turned organized crime kingpin with a reputation for eliminating his competitors. He previously held much of the District's power elite in his pocket through bribery or blackmail. If Corey can control Manu, he can handle anyone. If only he can survive the experience.
