Does anyone know the author who published the book about the Exam Scam? I was interested because my grandfather was Lt. Col Tom Spartichino and was lead detective in middlesex county and in this investigation two of the officers were close friends of the family. Anyone with info let me know. thanks

I believe the book in question is THE COPS ARE ROBBERS by Gerry Clemente and Kevin Stevens and published in April 1987 by Quinlan Press. I think it's no longer printed and NO, you can't borrow my copy!!

I'll find that SOB one day and have him sign it for me. Unless there is another book I don't know about. HC

Yup that's the book alright....You may try getting an out of print copy via Amazon... also if you want you can go to newsbank online and search old newspaper articles about it as well...lot of good info. Hey Housing the show Masterminds on Court Tv did a segment on him about a year ago...you may want to take a ride over to Medford..he's been out of jail for a while I think.

Gee, and to think I was being nice by not posting.

The dead giveaway was how he mentioned his grandfather on both posts.

"Hey did I tell you who my grandfather was?"

Posted by: Sully88

What the hell sorry I posted the same damn thing twice shut about it already. And to Mongo this isn't bullshit but you can just tell yourself that it is. If you read above you'll see that I just asked who was the publisher was. My grandfather has since passed some 7 years ago and I'm clearly not able to ask him sorry I asked a fucking question.

What about the two close friends of the family they dead too.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather.

But you sound like a whacker Troll looking to see what kinda shit you can dig up on a police web page.

Just basic instinct on my part,,,,,could be wrong but I doubt it.
