Read in January, 2012

An interesting book about the Mafia in NY based around the trial of two cops who killed for them. The central character in the book is Burt Kaplan, who turned informer to get out of jail and to not be the fall guy when other mobsters turned states evidence. It is also about the history of the Mafia in NY as well as about Jimmy Breslin himself.
