In Deal with the Devil, five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative
reporter Peter Lance draws on three decades of once-secret FBI
files to tell the definitive story of Greg Scarpa Sr., a Mafia capo
who "stopped counting" after fifty murders, while secretly
betraying the Colombo crime family as a Top Echelon FBI informant.
Lance traces Scarpa's shadowy relationship with the FBI all the way
back to 1960, when his debriefings went straight to J. Edgar
Hoover. In forty-two years of murder and racketeering, Scarpa
served only thirty days in jail thanks to his secret relationship
with the Feds. This is the untold story that will rewrite Mafia
history as we know it -a page-turning work of journalism that reads
like a Scorsese film. Deal with the Devil includes more than 130
illustrations, crime scene photos, and never-before-seen FBI
documents.
