Looking over his shoulder

A woman was recently found dead in her home after publishing tell-all accounts of life inside the mob. One might wonder if Fopiano has been running for cover himself.This book would make an interesting and complementary addition to a collection including such books as Black Mass by O'Neill and Lehr. It discusses New England organized crime in particular and even touches on inside knowledge of the JFK assassination. It is an o.k. but more valuable for its local historical flavor, even though some of the organized crime tapestry is not entirely accurate.
