Criminal Kinfolk: Brothers On Opposite Sides Of The Badge - Paperback

by Dale O. Garrett (Author)

Three brothers chose the badge.

Three chose crime.

Criminal Kinfolk is a true crime memoir about a family divided by law and loyalty.

In Florida, the Garrett brothers built careers in law enforcement-serving their communities, wearing the uniform with pride, and risking their lives to uphold justice.

In Tennessee, their half-brothers were making headlines for an entirely different reason.

Led by the cunning and elusive Malcolm Garrett, the criminal trio launched a series of brazen bank robberies across the South in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their crimes included high-speed pursuits, armed standoffs, and prison escapes that baffled authorities-including the FBI.

But this isn't just a story about crime.

It's the true account of one family's collision course with destiny-where shared bloodlines could not overcome radically different choices.

Told from the perspective of a real police officer and brother, Criminal Kinfolk pulls back the curtain on what it's like to wear a badge while knowing your own flesh and blood is on the other side of the law.

This is a gripping true story of:

• Serial bank robberies

• Law enforcement brotherhood

• Family secrets

• Loyalty and betrayal

• The thin line between right and wrong

Because sometimes the most dangerous criminals aren't strangers. They're family.
