[Malcolm Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written in a journalist argot reminiscent of Walter Winchell on the tv series The Untouchables.
The book starts with the slaying of Dutch Schultz.Then described the rackets he was involved in,his digital on tax charges,details of his assassins and their fate.A very entertaining book.

Not Kindle edition. Read from the book.

Very disappointed. I did not finish the book. It was so full of name dropping that I could not keep track and the names meant little to me.

Good read

Entertaining and educational. The author writes in a very conversational and sometimes humourous tone. Goes in depth about different relationships within organized crime.

No wife. No horse. No mustache.
