商品簡介
Bestselling author Sandra Harmon uses inside access to the Mob, law enforcement, and jailed Mafioso Gregory Scarpa Jr. to tell "a disturbing, jagged true-crime thriller worthy of prime Hammett, Chandler, or Puzo" (Publishers Weekly).
The Scarpas were a Mafia dynasty led by Greg Scarpa Sr., a man so addicted to killing that he was nicknamed "The Grim Reaper." His son, Gregory Jr., was slowly drawn into his dark world. What only father and son knew was that for thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Scarpa Sr. was an informant for the FBI. But faced with arrest in the late 1980s, Greg dropped the dime on his own son
Gregory Jr. was imprisoned alongside terrorist Ramzi Yousef. He offered to trade information on Yousef with the government in exchange for leniency, providing detailed intelligence on what would eventually result in the September 11 attacks. His warnings were ignored, and he was sentenced to forty years to life in prison, where he remains. A story that gained national notoriety, this is an unforgettable tale of violence, wealth, and sex.
"An enthralling look at ties between the Mafia and the FBI." ---Booklist
"A tense, penetrating psychological portrait of the wiseguy who went right and paid the price."---Robert Graysmith, author of Zodiac and Auto Focus
"An Absorbing and intriguing look at a Mafia family whose violence, and treachery, knew no limits."---Vincent Bugliosi, author of the Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder
