The Butcher by Philip Carlo
Presents an account of the US Drug Enforcement Administration's hunt to bring down Tommy 'Karate' Pitera, a drug-dealing, murderous capo in the Bonanno crime family.
"Mafia master Carlo is the unrivalled king of true crime writingHe examines Pitera's psyche with forensic scrutiny but stops short of glamorising his subject. Grisly and grusome, Scorcese should definitely buy up the movie rights" News of the World "Engrossing and chilling ... a fast-moving and morbidly fascinating story" Booklist
