Mike Russell, Patrick W Picciarelli (Get this book)
Billed as a true-crime version of The Sopranos, the story of Russell's violent life as an undercover cop cum trusted associate of the Genovese crime clan in Newark, N.J., has more plot twists than the acclaimed TV series. Russell's bravery and professionalism along with some crucial surveillance eventually led to the busts of more than 50 "wiseguys" and public officials. This tell-all page-turner is all the better for being true.--Publisher's Weekly
