SYNOPSIS: THE BOOK THAT BREAKS THE MAFIA CODE OF SILENCE No organization in the Canadian underworld has ever been more profitable or more feared than the Cotroni crime family. In its heyday, the Cotroni Mob stretched from Montreal to Marseilles.from the blood-streaked streets of Brooklyn to the sun-baked hills of Sicily. Now, in a gripping account based on wiretapped conversations s well as numerous interviews with street-tough wiseguys and deep-cover cops, journalist Pete Edwards exposes the savage, cynical inner workings of a Mafia empire. Edwards recounts the bloody rise and rule of godfather Vic Cotroni, an illiterate professional wrestler who became the most powerful Canadian mobster of this century. He takes us to Montreal nightclubs where million-dollar deals were cut as quickly as an informer's throat. He reveals the rackets and the stone-cold killers who ran them, men who dealt in drugs and death, pornography, prostitution, and politicians. Blood Brothers--a book as terrifying as it is real--brings you as close to the Mafia as you ever want to get. Peter Edwards has an M.A. in journalism from the University of Western Ontario. He has written for many newspapers and is presently the labour reporter for the Toronto Star. He is also the author of Waterfront Warlord: The Life and Violent Times of Hal C. Banks, and is a researcher/consultant for an upcoming television documentary on organized crime. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 004077
