Reviews
  "The true-life account of a mob trial so bizarre that it could pass for fiction . . . [Rudolph] has captured the longest and most expensive mob trial in U.S. history in all of its behind-the-scenes intrigue and courtroom lunacy. . . meticulously reported by a veteran journalist."--New Jersey Monthly

"[An] absorbing story of how the FBI developed a new mode of attack on the New Jersey crime family--and then failed to make its case in court. . . . Richly served up and dotted with absurd moments as the fat cats go free and the feds eat their shoes."--Kirkus Reviews

"The dialogue is so frank at times that the reader wonders if the tale is fiction or fact."--The Denver Post

"An incisive who's-who in the ranks of organized crime. . . . a major portrayal of how a trial went wrong, of how a system of justice failed, of how the bad guys became the good guys . . . one of those books you won't want to put down until the end."--Herb Jaffe, Star-Ledger

"Rudolph is a journalistic stylist of the highest order."--Publishers Weekly

"The case described here involved 20 alleged members of the Lucchese crime family led by Newark, New Jersey mob boss Anthony Accetturo. . . . Readable and entertaining. Recommended for Mafia buffs."--Library Journal

"A good read."--The Houston Chronicle

"The bizarre untold story of how federal authorities let the 'big one' get away."--The Jersey Journal
