THE BLACK HAND is the true story of Rene Enriquez, aka "Boxer,"
and his rise in a secret criminal organization, a new Mafia, that
already has a grip on all organized crime in California and soon
all of the United States. This Mafia is using a base army of an
estimated 60,000 heavily armed, loyal Latino gang members, called
Surenos, driven by fear and illicit profits. They are the most
dangerous gang in American history and they wave the flag of the
Black Hand.
Mafioso Enriquez gives an insider′s view of how he devoted his
life to the cause--the Mexican Mafia, La Familia Mexicana, also
known as La Eme--only to find betrayal and disillusionment at the
end of a bloody trail of violence that he followed for two
decades.
And now, award-winning investigative journalist Chris
Blatchford, with the unprecedented cooperation of Rene Enriquez,
reveals the inner workings, secret meetings, and elaborate murder
plots that make up the daily routine of the Mafia brothers. It is
an intense, never-before-told story of a man who devoted his life
to a bloody cause only to find betrayal and disillusionment.
Based on years of research and investigation, Chris Blatchford
has delivered a historic narrative of a nefarious organization that
will go down as a classic in mob literature.
