Yeah, Snakes. That was my local. I was a member of 813 for twenty five years, a shop steward for ten, and a business agent for seven.

Good book, but the cop's ego was out of control (what else is new?). And Sal Benedetto is a whiny baby who PUT HIMSELF in a jackpot, then ran for help when he got scared.

Also, they made a few guys out to be heavyweights in the garbage business who were nothing more than wannabe gangsters. But that's to be expected in mob books.

When you read it, shoot me a pm .
