Something was wrong in Jefferson County, Alabama. Police informants were being identified and killed. At least that was the word on the street, and that word was enough to dry up the flow of information. Investigations and court cases went nowhere. Every law enforcement agency in the county wondered if there really was a leak. Cooperation was low and suspicion high. It took different people from different walks of life and an improbable chain of events to finally reveal the truth. It would shock the whole state. This is the story of those people and events. It is a story of cowardice and heroism, corruption and redemption, and life and death. It is a true story.
