Second time reading this and I love it every time. Merlino was constantly in the news growing up so the inside info is fascinating. Would reread again.

 This book was about Ron Previte, a corrupt cop turned into a brutal capo level gangster in the Philadelphia crime syndicate. He had his hand in many illicit activities, up to and including prostitution and gambling. He wound up turning informant for the federal government, giving them inside information about the Philadelphia crime syndicate. This was a good read, but I do enjoy most Mafia related material.
