I remember reading the book.
It was in 1973, and I was staying in Long Island visiting my (first) wife before we married. Great story.
I'd forgotten so many of the details of the story other than the overall plot - good cop goes after corrupt cops.
I also remember is was the first time I saw the word "scumbag" used - with a definition.

He actually looks a lot more like Al Pacino than I was expecting.
