Review:

"The 125-page book--following Webster's previous work, 'Haunted Mohawk Valley'--also touches upon colorful characters of the past who still are talked about today, such as Utica's alleged mobster kingpin Joseph Falcone, political power-broker Rufus Elefante and the 1970s' suspected serial killer Bernard Hatch." --Utica Observer-Dispatch
