Opis

Beginning in the summer of 1903, an insidious crime wave filled New York City, and then the entire country, with fear. The children of Italian immigrants were kidnapped, and dozens of innocent victims were gunned down. Standing between the American public and the Black Hand's lawlessness was Joseph Petrosino. This book tells his story.

Recenzje

What a terrific read! Through incredible historical research and a detective's eye for the telling detail, Stephan Talty chronicles Joseph Petrosino's dogged pursuit of cold-blooded extortionists and killers. It's a story about immigration, urban life, and the struggle of law enforcement to confront the terror spread by a start-up criminal underworld at the turn of the 20th century Dick Lehr, author of the New York Times bestseller Black Mass
