The Grim Reapers

Ed Reid

Bantam Books, NY. 1972. Ninth Printing. Some creasing and wear to cover; some yellowing to text block. A very good copy.

From the publisher:

"Corruption U.S.A. ~ From Boston and Detroit to Miami and New Orleans, from New York and Chicago to Los Angeles, reporter Ed Reid tears the lid off organized crime in America. The Grim Reapers gives you a frightening picture of the Mafia, its infiltration into legitimate business, and the insidious influence it exercises over the lives of unsuspecting citizens. Meet "The Family" ~ Ed Reid names names, places and dates. They're all here - all the big ones. Meet them in a special section, Phi Beta Mafia."

A barn burner / total classic of American mafia literature. Extremely fun, well researched, wildly entertaining. I'm happy to offer this up for a fair price.
