Synopsis

Hundreds of writers have tried to capture life inside the mob, but no one has ever had the inside access to write a book like this one. Drawing on the firsthand experience of former undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone - aka Donnie Brasco - as well as former Mafia prince Bill Bonanno, The Good Guys straddles both sides of the law and crackles with characters and moments so vivid they will never let you go.

About this title

About the Author:

David Fisher, coauthor, has collaborated on more than a dozen bestsellers, including Killer, the first nonfiction book done with a Mafia hit man. Fisher is also the author of the new videogame MadeMan.

From AudioFile:

The authors provide an inside look at both a Mafia crime family and the FBI. Both end up looking for a Russian literature professor who has disappeared from Columbia University. When the Mafia "soldiers" and FBI agents cross paths, well, everything is fair in war. Bonanno, a former member of the Bonanno crime family, and Joe Pistone, a former FBI agent, team up to both write and read this story of investigation and intrigue. Each reads his part with stiff phrasing--as though he has never read out loud before, or even seen his own writing. The language is crude and the adventures are rough, but that's crime for you.
