A Brotherhood Betrayed: The Man Behind the Rise and Fall of Murder, Inc. by Michael Cannell

4.0

I used to read true crime a lot and got away from it, mostly because real life is stressful enough nowadays. However, I've heard of Murder, Inc and this one looked intriguing. The story focuses a lot on Abe Reles, but there are a lot of people to keep track of. The author's attention to that is impressive with little reminders here and there. In many cases, that would be tedious to me, but it's done very well here. The book is well written, and it's just another example of the truth sometimes being stranger than fiction. Definitely more shocking if for no other reason than it being truth rather than fiction. If you read true crime, I'd certainly recommend this one.
