*Previously published as Portraits of the Dead*
In the mid-1970s, there were a series of gangland murders,
committed by unknown killers, often wielding .22-caliber revolvers.
At first these murders seemed unconnected, but law enforcement
started noticing links to organized crime and by 1978, federal
authorities were involved in the investigations. The FBI compiled a
list of 25 gangland figures killed, from potential witnesses and
low-level associates, to made men. All shot with a .22 between 1975
and 1978, all from the same batch of guns purchased in Florida,
some even the same weapon. The main suspects were members of the
East Harlem Purple Gang. Starting on the fringes they quickly
became a violent offshoot syndicate of the Mafia, some even became
high-ranking members of the Genovese, Bonanno, and Lucchese
families. Often serving as freelance hitmen, kidnappers, and drug
traffickers, their exploits quickly crossed into mythology. The
Purple Gang became an almost obsession with the media. Accounts of
the Gang's activities popped up in the newspapers across the
country in the late 1970s. They were the shadow army of the
underworld and every law enforcement agency's favorite suspect.
They were accused of being behind all the major mob hits through
the early 1980s and became the ultimate boogeyman in the era of mob
upheaval and a flailing New York City mired in crime and financial
woes. Digging through the mystery and mythos, Scott Deitche brings
the gritty City of the late 1970s and early 1980s back to life in
this in-depth account of the Purple Gang, the real members, their
operations, and where some of the major players are today.
