Above the Law Paperback - 1995

Media reviews

“High time. I’ve waited years for this book, which tells Canadians exactly how our politicians get away with behaviour that would have anyone else behind bars. But the bad news comes in a wonderfully readable package with a hero, former RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rod Stamler, everyone will like.”
–Stevie Cameron, Contributing Editor, Maclean’s

“Fast-paced and exciting, Above the Law chronicles the seedy underworld of crime in very high places. It makes great reading – particularly for those who don’t mind having their illusions about our political leaders destroyed.”
–Linda McQuaig, author of The Wealthy Banker’s Wife and The Quick and the Dead

“Paul Palango is a rarity – a journalist who actually cares, and cares deeply, about probity in public office. Above the Law is a wonderful book.”
–Geoffrey Stevens, columnist and publisher

“Above the Law is as exciting as any detective novel.”
–Winnipeg Free Press

“Palango’s alarming book details one sorry tale after another of influence-peddling, bid-rigging, and fraud and stock manipulation associated with the country’s highest political office.”
–Alberta Report

“All sorts of prominent little piggies come snuffling through theses pages, looking to jam their noses into the political trough.”
–Books In Canada

“It reads like fiction, but it’s fact. It’s scary.”
–Keith Morrison, “Canada AM”

“Every cop, robber and politician should read Above the Law before carrying on with business as usual.”
–Michael Harris, The Daily News, Halifax

“Anyone who is interested in the public life of this country would relish Above the Law.”
–Ottawa Citizen
