The Right To Remain Silent By Brandt, Charles

Wisecracking cop Lou Razzi''s zeal, dedication and talent for extracting information from suspects make him destined to rise quickly through the ranks... until a frame-up sends him to jail for two years. He loses his career, his marriage, and his baby daughter, and following his release from prison, he leaves the country for a sort of self-imposed exile in Brazil. Fifteen years later, an exonerated, more hardened Razzi comes back to serve a single day on the force and claim his pension. But that one day becomes a continuing education when Razzi is drawn onto a conspiracy and finds his old police tools fruitless in the wake of the Miranda decision.
