This book is about the court proceedings of Louis Eppolito and Steven Caracappa, two former members of the New York Police Department. These two were in bed with members of organized crime. They were convicted of labor racketeering, extortion, narcotics, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, eight counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in 2006. One of the witnesses for the prosecution was Mafia associate Burton Kaplan, who testified once his own legal troubles were pressing the life out of him. The two were later sentenced to life in prison. The stories that Kaplan had to tell in this book were wild, and also extremely believable given similar stories from other gangsters and their associates. This book was free to listen to with Audible Plus, and was certainly worth the five hours it took to listen to. I do love a Mafia related book, so this was right up my alley.
