| The True Story of New York's Most Notorious Cop-Killer and the Cop Who Risked Everything to Catch Him. |
In 1972, New York City was plagued
with protests, riots, and general unrest.
It was during this defining year that one
of the Police Department's most
scandalous cases occurred: the murder
of Police Officer Phillip Cardillo. On
Friday, April 14, 1972, the police were
summoned to Mosque Number 7 in
Harlem, led at the time by the Nation of
Islam's Louis Farrakhan, for a
ten-thirteen: officer in need of help. The
turn of events after this officer distress
call has become perhaps the most
legendary story in NYPD history. Police
entered the Mosque and a conflict
with protests, riots, and general unrest.

Harlem, led at the time by the Nation of

turn of events after this officer distress
call has become perhaps the most
legendary story in NYPD history. Police
entered the Mosque and a conflict
occurred, leaving Office Cardillo dead, and the city on the brink of a
full-scale riot. Sensing a potential crisis and conflict with the Nation of Islam
and the Black Liberation Army, New York City Mayor John Lindsay,
Commissioner Benjamin Ward, and Congressman Charles Rangel
acquiesced to the city's black leaders and ordered the police out of the
Mosque.
Subsequently, the details of Officer Cardillo's murder and the events of
what happened at the Mosque were covered up and an investigation was
never truly launched until NYPD detective Randy Jurgensen began his own
investigation. For four years, he would not rest, taking on the Mayor, his
superiors in the NYPD, the Nation of Islam, and seemingly at times, the
entire city of New York, before he could affect an arrest. His investigation
revealed the tragic and shameful story of the political scandal and cover-up
that rocked the NYPD and the Nation of Islam.
Circle of Six is the harrowing true crime expose that lifts the curtain to
reveal the raw story behind one of the most debated cases in the history of
the New York City Police Department. Officer Cardillo's murder is still an
officially unsolved crime to this day. Written by Randy Jurgensen with
Robert Cea, also a former NYPD detective, it details Jurgensen's
determined effort to bring Officer Cardillo's murderer to justice. Despite the
mayhem on the streets and the Machiavellian corridors of Mayor Lindsay's
City Hall, Detective Jurgensen captured Cardillo's killer, Lewis 17X Dupree.
He broke the case with an unlikely accomplice, Foster 2X Thomas, a
minister for the Nation of Islam who became Randy's witness and would
eventually help put Dupree behind bars.
Randy Jurgensen's co-author is Rob Cea (No Lights, No Sirens), also a
former NYPD detective. As a new recruit Cea learned of Jurgensen's
heroism, and the tales of this case are told to this day to each and every
recruit at the Policy Academy. Randy Jurgensen is a legend in the New
York City Police Department.
