THE GOOD GUYS

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.
