The Fence: A Police Cover-up Along Boston's Racial Divide

by Dick Lehr Author

In 1995, plainclothes officer Michael Cox was brutally beaten by his fellow cops while pursuing a murder suspect. Officer Kenny Conley, also hunting the suspect, denied witnessing the attack. Despite their dedication to the Boston Police Department, they were abandoned and betrayed when federal investigators accused Conley of lying.

The Fence, a true-crime courtroom drama, recounts the shocking attack, police cover-up, and its impact on the involved lives. It features a diverse cast, including victims, families, accused officers, city officials, and the caught murder suspect. The story centers on Boston, a city still grappling with its troubled racial history.
