Great read

I just finished reading this book and it was a thrill to read it. It is very informative and interesting. I always was interested in organized crime and the processes that law enforcement go through to attempt to tame it. Learning about how much power and influence the mob really had was insane. I definitely am going to read more Bill O’Reilly books. The book was filled with a bunch of crucial moments which made me feel like I was watching a movie. O’Reilly is really descriptive and does a amazing job of presenting the people involved and putting everything together.
