Marked Card is a term used by law enforcement to flag a mobster as a possible covert operative for the federal government. Made guy, double agent, and mystery man, Mark Silverman takes the phrase 'To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy' to a whole new level in Marked Card: Power Play in the Boston Mafia. In the course of the late 80's and into the 90's the Boston Mafia was in the midst of a full blown war for supremacy of the New England underworld. The government was synchronously engaged in their own silent war; playing one agency against the other while leaking information to their informants. Silverman spares no details describing how he rose through the ranks of the Irish Winter Hill gang while working for both warring factions of the Italian Mafia concealing his identity. Silverman explains how the Whitey Bulger scandal led to an absolute power play, both on the streets and inside law enforcement circles.

<p>Rogue Mobster chronicles the history of the Winter Hill Gang and the New England mafia through the eyes and ears of Boston organized crime figure Mark Silverman. Silverman explains how shifting allegiances and internal power struggles have deciminated the once mighty Patriarca Crime Family. In 1988 Frank Cadillac Salemme was released from prison and decided to rekindle his criminal partnership with his old pals Whitey Bulger and Stevie Flemmi which led to at least six mob related killings in 1991 and sparked an all out power play in the New England mafia. The next six years brought with it a slew of underworld slayings. Some were personal while others were directly related to Salemme's grab for power. Rogue Mobster is told in the words of Mark Silverman, who got inside the mob and became an integral part of the ensuing war. His account is the first-ever inside glimpse into what went on at the street level, why people were killed, and what the stakes were. Rogue Mobster is a firsthand account of the violent Boston mob wars of the 1990s, when bodies were piling up across New England and Mark Silverman was walking a tightrope between Winter Hill and the Mafia Rogue Mobster also served as inspiration for Warner Brothers Blockbuster film Black Mass.</p>
