Numerous testimonials from field cops are included. A real plus is the collaboration of Michel Faury, the current head of the BRI, in this document.<br \/>\nThe book also gives pride of place to a great and little-known cop, the founder of this unit: Commissaire le Mou\u00ebl. The author also takes us into the shady bars of the capital, the shadowing, the informers, the stakeouts.<br \/>\nA great character also marked the BRI for 10 years: Commissaire Broussard<br \/>\nDanielle Thierry also looks back at the most high-profile cases: Mesrine, the hairpiece gang, which made the unit famous. A chapter is also devoted to the BAC.<br \/>\nThe book is fascinating, and reads like a thriller in one go!    <\/p>\n<p>Danielle Thierry in collaboration with Michel Faury, BRI, Histoire d&#8217;une unit\u00e9 d&#8217;\u00e9lite. \u00c9ditions Jacob-Duvernet. 20 euros. 196 pages.<br \/>\nIn bookshops since June 6.<\/p>\n<p>Julien Tissot<br \/>\njulien@luxsure.fr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danielle Thi\u00e9ry, best-selling detective novelist and former police commissioner, reveals the inner workings of a very special police unit: the BRI brigade de r\u00e9pression et d&#8217;intervention, nicknamed the Antigang.
