Title: Powerful stuff
Product review: Wow. This book blew me away. A strong, compelling narrative of Wall Street's takeover by the Mob in the late 1990s. Reads extremely well, suspensful and well-plotted.I don't know how people reacted when this book came out a couple of years ago, but I find that it is particularly effective at capturing an era that now seems to inhabit the distant past. On one level you have the Mafia in decline, but you also have Wall Street in ascendancy, and about to take a huge hit. The world of the stock scamsters collapsed at the same time as Wall Street, and the story of the two disasters is seamlessly weaved together.
