This book is the personal account of Michael Corbitt, a Chicago kid who was beginning to be involved in a life of crime. Sam Giancana took notice of this upstart and got him a job in the police department. The leader of the Chicago organized crime syndicate knew that it would serve him to have as many friends on the police force as possible. Eventually, he was caught out for conspiracy to commit murder, and refused to inform on any of his mob associates. After his release from prison, he wrote this tell all book, which was a good read.
