No Haven is a fascinating and gripping account of a little-known segment of the mob. Paul Bleakley 's research is top drawer. I highly recommend this book.

Told as a narrative history, No Haven recounts a century of mob infiltration in New Haven, Connecticut, by organized crime families from neighboring states. New Haven has a legacy of mob involvement stemming from overlapping organized crime influences from surrounding New York City, Providence, and Boston. Using three major mobsters from the Genovese, Profaci, and Patriarca families as prime examples, this book offers a fascinating look into how multiple illicit activities produced self-interest, occasional allies, and sometimes brutal murder. At its core, this is the story of a city that suffered for many decades from the impact of organized crime.
