Running out of options, things got increasingly dangerous for Serpico as word spread that he was a troublemaker. In short order, word got back to Serpico that Mayor John Lindsay did not want to meet to discuss the matter because he did not want to upset the police. At one point he even gave his information to Durk's contact at the Mayor's office. Looking for other avenues, Serpico continued to press the matter, but it did little good. According to Peter Maas' "Serpico," Foran warned Serpico that if he pressed the matter any further "they'll find you face down in the East River." Years later, when the corruption case went public, Foran's name got dragged through the mud for trying to stop Serpico's investigation, although he denied he did any such thing. Maas moved on to ''Serpico,'' the story of Detective. Although Durk was an honest cop, it turned out that he had misjudged Foran, who was not. Peter Maas, who turned real-life police and mafiosi into stars of long string of nonfiction best sellers, dies at age of 72 photo (M). Serpico went to fellow officer David Durk - now also legendary for his whistleblowing - and Durk advised Serpico to take his story to Captain Philip Foran. ![]() ![]() But reporting the bribe proved to be more difficult than expected. ![]()
