Boss of Bosses: The FBI and Paul Castellano

At least as good as Mario Puzo, with shades of David Mamet or even Arthur Miller. -New York Daily News

Paul Castellano headed New York’s immensely powerful Gambino crime family for more
than ten years. On December 16, 1985, he was gunned down in a spectacular shooting
on Manhattan’s fashionable East Side.

At the time of his death, Paul Castellano
was under indictment. So were most of the major Mafia figures in New York. Why?

Because in 1983 the FBI had hidden a microphone in the kitchen of Castellano’s Staten
Island mansion. The 600 hours of recorndings led to eight criminal trials. And
this book.

Agents Joe O'Brien and Andris Kurins planted that mike. They listened
to the voices. Now they bring you the most revealing look inside the Mafia ever … in the Mafia’s own words.

Beautifully done, not only strange and fascinating but even touching. -Robert Daley, author of Prince of the City
