This is a true story of a mafia involved man who became very very rich--then went to prison. He died March 1986 two days after sipping cyanide laced coffee in a maximum security prison in Italy. His last words were, "they have poisoned me". He was one of the most powerful figures in international high finance. This author interviewed him many many times for this story--now there is a new question--who murdered Roberto Calvi. Very interesting story and gives lots of info i didn't know--how the mafia launders it's money and why has no government ever been able to do anything about it. Great read.
