“Mob books are never this elegant.”
The Darkest Night
For a brief moment before World War II took over everything, America fixated on the delicate balance of trust and betrayal on the Brooklyn streets. One man tipped the balance. A Brotherhood Betrayed is the true story of Abe Reles, the executioner-turned-informant whose curious death became gangland's greatest mystery.
“A riveting read from start to finish about notorious New York in the ‘30s and ‘40s when guns, gangsters, molls, and Murder Inc. ruled the shadowy streets and the politicians in their blood-stained pockets. Michael Cannell’s impeccable research is exceeded only by compelling writing that has the staccato impact of a Thompson machine gun.”
