About the Author BAYNARD WOODS is a freelance writer living in Baltimore. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and many other publications. He is coauthor, with Brandon Soderberg, of I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of Americas Most Corrupt Police Squad.BRANDON SODERBERG is a reporter living Baltimore and was previously the Editor in Chief of the Baltimore City Paper and a contributing writer to SPIN. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Vice, The Village Voice and many other publications. He is coauthor, with Baynard Woods, of I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of Americas Most Corrupt Police Squad. The explosive true story of Americas most corrupt police unit, the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), which terrorized the city of Baltimore for half a decade. When Baltimore police sergeant Wayne Jenkins said he had a monster, he meant he had found a big-time drug dealer one that he wanted to rob. This is the story of Jenkins and the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), a super group of dirty detectives who exploited some of America’s greatest problems: guns, drugs, toxic masculinity, and hypersegregation.In the upside-down world of the GTTF, cops were robbers and drug dealers were the perfect victims, because no one believed them. When the federal government finally arrested the GTTF for robbery and racketeering in 2017, the stories of victims began to come out, revealing a vast criminal enterprise operating within the Baltimore Police Department. Cops planted heroin to cover up a fatal crash that resulted from a botched robbery. They stole hundreds of thousands of dollars, faked video evidence, and forged a letter trying to break up the marriage of one of their victims to keep his wife from paying a lawyer. And a homicide detective was killed the day before he was scheduled to testify against the crooked cops.I Got a Monster is the shocking history of the rise and fall of the most corrupt cops in America from Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg. Review This book made me want to cry and scream at the same time. It’s the story of an elite group of police officers in Baltimore who spent years stealing, lying and physically attacking people in the city. The FBI prosecuted the officers with the same statutes that it uses to take down organized crime, and the book reads like a mob story. Except it’s not the mob - it’s the police. NPR, Best Books of 2020[A] riveting read. The Baltimore Sun“The nearly unbelievable tale of widespread police corruption in a squad whose leader ran it ‘like a war machine.’ Woods and Soderberg meticulously reveal a group within the Baltimore Police Department that became a criminal enterprise all its own...Few readers will close this page-turner doubting that the Gun Trace Task Force was anything but the most corrupt police group in the U.S.” Kirkus ReviewsA meticulously researched tale of greed, public pressure, and absolute power. Fans of The Wire, The Shield, and Training Day will devour, as will readers of true crime and students of urban affairs and public policy. Library Journal (starred review)Baltimore journalists Woods and Soderberg cut to the heart of corruption with precision and impartiality. This is an important book about community and the police intended to protect and serve it. True crime with humanity at its core. Booklist”True crime aficionados won’t want to miss this engrossing expose.” Publishers WeeklyI Got a Monster is a gem, a sobering look at the most corrupt police unit in the most corrupt police department in America and the miracle it took to bring them down. Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg brilliantly guide us through this journey with a diligent on-the-ground reporting style that has become rare, holding up a mirror to our broken system and forcing us to see that the “few bad apples” theory is a myth crooked cops are supported by crooked prosecutors and crooked politicians.
