Family Secrets: The Case That Crippled the Chicago Mob

In 2007 a Chicago courtroom became the stage for a case that broke apart one of the city's mob families. Family Secrets follows that trial from its opening days, rebuilding the courtroom events and the investigation that led up to them. The author draws on trial transcripts, police files, and interviews, together with his own notes, to bring each witness and each argument to life. The book shows how a family bound by loyalty and crime came under the strain of testimony, and how a single case could change the fortunes of an entire criminal organization.
