Paul N. Hodos offers a sinister take on the local mob in his provocative new book. “Many people were beaten, killed, robbed, assaulted, wronged by corrupt officials and turned into addicts, thieves, prostitutes and debtors, all so the men who ran the Pittsburgh mob could live lives of leisure, wealth and adventure.” Discover gritty stories of a made member who controlled who a local police department hired, an informant who betrayed his own mafia grandfather and father, numerous unsolved murders and a mob mole in the Pittsburgh office of the FBI. This is the tale of a mafia family at the pinnacle of its power, willing to do anything to hold on to that power and its downfall in the criminal underworld.
