Special Crimes: Memoirs of a D.A. Investigator

Special Crimes is the capstone of a lifetime career in law enforcement for Houston native Kenny Rodgers and details not only the inner workings of the Harris County District Attorney Special Crimes Bureau but the complete behind-the-scenes investigations and ultimate take-down of some of the most notorious criminals in the Lone Star State during the 1970s and 80s. From The Black Widow to Yankee (former Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Yarbrough) and Karla Faye Tucker from murder-for-hire to lust revenge and greed Special Crimes is a smorgasborg of citizens at their worst and good cops at their best including those rare insufferable and hilarious moments when the gun misfires the heel falls off the shoe or the chase begins in earnest.
