Mafia Son: The Scarpa Mob Family, the FBI, and a Story of Betrayal (Thorndike Large Print Crime Scene)

The Scarpa Mafia dynasty was led by Greg Scarpa, Sr., a man so addicted to killing that he was nicknamed "The Grim Reaper." His son, Gregory Jr., was drawn into his dark world. No one but father and son knew that for thirty years Scarpa, Sr. was an FBI informant. Faced with arrest in the late 1980s, he dropped the dime on his own son. Imprisoned alongside Ramzi Yousef, Gregory, Jr. tried unsuccessfully to warn the government about the 911 attacks.
