This is the story of a Mob lawyer turned mole with a million-dollar contract on his head, a man who has clanged back and forth between sin and sainthood like a church bell clapper - a turbulent youth, a stint on Chicago's police force, law school, and then the inner sanctum of Chicago's leading mobsters and corrupt political officials. With wild abandon he chased crooked acquittals for the likes of Pat Marcy, an Al Capone protégé, who had become the Mob's key political operative.

The Glue of Chicago History
Revisado: 04-22-19
This book, when read with the proper lens, reveals how corruption, has worked, continues to work, and will work moving forward in Chicago. Keep notes and draw a map. then, in the end, cross out the names but leave the connecting lines, and there you have it. A structure, unique only to Chicago, where bosses don't kill each other and the 'untouchables ' just make minor adjustments and replace the players on the chart, but the stucture and leadership remain strong. their way is, modern, modular, scalable and can be ramped up or pulled back into the shadows at any time.
