Author Michael W Quinn is a veteran of 29 years of law enforcement experience. Walking With the Devil is about his experiences with the code of silence. Brutally frank, Quinn writes about cops who cover for each other and administrators who chose to do nothing when criminal activity by officers in their command was brought to their attention.
Quinn proposes solutions for dealing with the code and articulates what he sees as the worst 10 myths in policing.
Walking With the Devil has received glowing reports from current and former police officers, Chiefs, FBI agents, academics, and attorneys across the United States and Canada. It is unanimously critiqued as a "must read."
