Circle of Six
by Randy Jurgensen with Robert Cea
In 1972, police officer Phillip Cardillo was shot and killed inside Harlem’s Mosque #7 in the midst of an all-out assault on the NYPD from the Black Liberation Army. Circle of Six is the true story of Detective Randy Jurgensen’s determined effort to bring justice to Cardillo’s killer, Lewis 17X Dupree, by taking on the Black Liberation Army, the Nation of Islam, NYPD brass and city hall.
He broke the case with an unlikely accomplice, Foster 2X Thomas, a member of the Nation of Islam who became Jurgensen's witness. The relationship they formed during the time before the trial gave each of the two men a greater perspective of the two sides in the street war and ultimately changed them forever.
