Busted (book)

Busted: A Tale of Corruption and Betrayal in the City of Brotherly Love is a 2014 non-fiction book by Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker.

Philadelphia police also launched a task force with the FBI, the department's Internal Affairs division and the city's Inspector General's Office, to investigate the incidents.

Rosella Elanor Lafevre praised the book in a review for the Philadelphia magazine, writing:It's a captivating story that I tore through in two days.

The book is sometimes a bit self-conscious about its buddy movie potential, but it's impossible not to root for the self-described "slime sistas" as they follow up on a series of tips about a Philly police squad that regularly robbed immigrant-owned bodegas, and a badge-wielding sexual predator known only as "the Boob Man.

"[8]The Washington Post's Melinda Henneberger compared the two women to Thelma and Louise in a story appearing in the April 2, 2014, edition of the newspaper's style section:The new book... is the chick, noir version of All the President's Men, with a little Rocky, a little Deadline U.S.A. and a little almost anything with Rosalind Russell or Barbara Stanwyck.

[11] David Frankel, director of 2006's The Devil Wears Prada, was brought on to direct the television series along with Carla Hacken, president of production at SKE, who is supposed to produce it.
