This is without a doubt the best book on the Canadian Mafia ever written and believe me I think I've read them all! It has great pacing and reads like a novel or movie but tells the true story with authentic feel without getting bogged down in millions of names and dates and rumours. It is a nice blend of the view of the mob from both the inside and from others on the outside looking in, like cops and regular citizens. This is a highly recommended read and not just for those interested in the mob and crime stuff. My wife read it too and loved it.
