A fascinating book about the discovery by a young writer about his uncle who was a legendary mob killer. It sounds like fiction but is non-fiction and is quite compelling. His uncle is a remarkable and horrible person and is alternately frightening and charming. The book itself is well written and very well researched. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
