The mafia's code of silence has long made it difficult for police to convict major mafia figures. Low-level members who are caught in criminal activities rarely turn evidence on those above them, choosing instead to do their time. Police have had go to great lengths to take down the bosses, in many cases giving up their own lives to go undercover. Joe Pistone, the undercover FBI Agent known as "Donnie Brasco," was an FBI agent for 27 years. He spent 20 of those years as an undercover agent, sacrificing his own identity to bring justice to the mob. This book provides background information on organized crime, and gives your readers a revealing look into the tools and techniques used by investigators in mafia cases. Sidebars provide first-person accounts and biographies of famous criminals and investigators.
