Non-Fiction Biography
For the first twenty-five years of his career, Lucky Luciano
was a vicious mobster who became the king of the New York
underworld. For the next twenty-five, he was a fake, his
reputation maintained by government agents. Boardwalk
Gangster follows him from his early days as a hit man to his
sex and narcotics empires, exposing the truth about what he
did to help the Allies in World War II, and revealing how he
really spent his twilight years. Drawing on secret government documents in the United States
and Europe, this myth-busting biography tells a story that
has never been told before—in which the American Mafia
becomes entangled with foreign war and Cold War conspiracy.
