Riveting and dramatic, In Search of Truth and Honor by Joanne Takasato chronicles the journey of the first female undercover narcotics police officer in Hawaii in the1980’s. A fascinating and shocking account of one officer’s undercover escapades, after being literally dropped off on a street corner and sent out to infiltrate the world of narcotics trafficking with no training, badge, or gun. During her two-year passage through purgatory, the author was forced to make tough, life-altering decisions. She learned to distrust cops even before she learned to be one. In this affecting, yet bittersweet island narrative, readers learn firsthand that undercover work is a lonely path strewn with conflicts of loyalty, friendship and honor. In chapters with titles such as “Judge Me Not,” and “The Dark Side of the Badge,” Takasato is refreshingly candid about difficulties she had to overcome for busting a dope dealing cop and breaking one of the most important edicts of the “Golden Rules.”
