In his inimitable New York voice‚ Jimmy Breslin now gives us a view of the people and places that define the Mafia. With characters like Sammy (The Bull)‚ Tony Cafe‚ and Gaspipe Casso‚ and hangouts like Pep McGuire's‚ where a race horse is lapping a bucket of water at the bar‚ Breslin captures the moments in which the Mafia was made and broken. Woven throughout Breslin's stories is Burt Kaplan‚ the star witness in the recent trual of the two New York detectives convicted for murdering for the mob.
In THE GOOD RAT‚ Breslin brings together the most recent‚ most mermorable‚ and the long forgotten stories to create a sharp-eyed portrait of the mob as it lived and breathed‚ and as it tries to survive.
