Chris Cipollini's Murder Inc.: Mysteries of the Mob’s Most Deadly Hit Squad takes readers through the twisted stories of the hired guns, the bosses in charge, how the violent unit was eventually crushed, and even the back stories of their victims and the brutality of which each met life’s end.
MURDER INC.
When the Big Four of crime - Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and Frank Costello - essentially reshaped the structure of the New York underworld in 1931 – a new era of mobster was born.
They were organized, disciplined and had no mercy for those that would jeopardize the ultimate goal… earning illicit money. In order to enforce the "rules" of conduct, and further protect the hierarchy of gangland leadership – an arm of the mob was created to carry out a very special brand of justice.
Culled from the Jewish and Italian sections of Brooklyn’s Brownsville and Ocean Hill sections, these "specialists" within the underworld came to be known as the boys from Murder Incorporated. Not since the groundbreaking book Murder Inc. by Burton Turkus and Sid Feder was published in the 1950’s has a compilation of bizarre, violent, ironic and unbelievable tales been told – until now.
The tales are salacious, gory, outrageous and surreal, including the mysterious six-story jump of stoolpigeon Abe "Kid Twist" Reles to the sobbing pleas of Martin "Buggsy" Goldstein as he met the electric chair to the bit part actor Irving Cohen’s icepick assault of his best friend, and even the affair of Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss and his "kiss of death" girlfriend, Evelyn Mittelman.
Through narrative, rare quotes and dozens of rare photographs, Cipollini's book is filled with the myths, the facts, the folklore and even the blunders committed by the mob’s most deadly crew of killers in history.
