6 More Dead! A True Story Ana lay in a hospital bed. Her throat cut. Her face swollen beyond recognition and unable to speak, her only method of communication was a pencil and pad. NYPD Detective Raymond Berke, upon seeing Ana, realized that he would have to wait until she was better able to communicate. As he started to leave, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to her bed. Using her pencil she scrawled '6 More Dead'. Go inside the patrol cars of the NYPD, the Detective Squad rooms and interrogation rooms, where mass murderers sit inches away from the detectives who try to get them to admit to their heinous acts. Chronicling the true life experiences of NYPD Detective Raymond Berke, '6 More Dead' begins with his first days as a rookie cop on the mean streets of Brooklyn, and follows him through his rise to Detective in the Silk Stocking district of Manhattan. His cases involve heart wrenching suicides, crazed and insane murderers killing their families, and the white collar criminals of society's upper echelon. Berke's cases take him as far away as London, England for investigations involving possible ties to the royal family of Great Britain. Berke's cases don't stop, culminating in his shocking and terrifying investigation into one of the largest mass murders in New York history, The College Point Massacre. If ever a book got into the minds of both Criminals and Detectives, this is it!
