Blue Thunder How The Mafia Owned and Finally Murdered Cigarette Boat King Donald Aronow By Burdick and Mitchell is an interesting read,despite it being non-fiction and the first book on Aronow's murder what of it is fiction and what isn't? I don't know what to make of the whole case after reading this despite who I believe is the culprit. And It gets some information wrong regarding Cuba and the Mob which is information that was passed down from Castro's dictatorship. also he mentions Naule Industries which there was no such company it was called Maule Industries.Nonetheless,it is a non-stop good read and whether or not you agree with the authors you are informed of the scandals and scandalous behavior of Pulitzer "sessions", Don Soffer and Infamous Turnberry Club and the swinging lifestyles that visited that place,Aronow among them and dirty politicians in the process and attorneys who were or are mobbed up such Malnik,The Deceased Gerstein and his Protege Janet Reno among other shady connected characters.

Thomas Burdick puts this story of his investigation into the execution-style murder of Don Aronow out there in readable, if name-laden, basically chronological order, and it ends up being a pretty compelling interpretation of the evidence.
