The Black Hand: The Bloody Rise and Redemption of "Boxer" Enriquez, a Mexican Mob Killer - Softcover
Synopsis
THE BLACK HAND is the true story of Rene Enriquez, aka "Boxer," and his rise in a secret criminal organization, a new Mafia, that already has a grip on all organized crime in California and soon all of the United States. This Mafia is using a base army of an estimated 60,000 heavily armed, loyal Latino gang members, called Surenos, driven by fear and illicit profits. They are the most dangerous gang in American history and they wave the flag of the Black Hand.
Mafioso Enriquez gives an insider′s view of how he devoted his life to the cause--the Mexican Mafia, La Familia Mexicana, also known as La Eme--only to find betrayal and disillusionment at the end of a bloody trail of violence that he followed for two decades.
And now, award-winning investigative journalist Chris Blatchford, with the unprecedented cooperation of Rene Enriquez, reveals the inner workings, secret meetings, and elaborate murder plots that make up the daily routine of the Mafia brothers. It is an intense, never-before-told story of a man who devoted his life to a bloody cause only to find betrayal and disillusionment.
Based on years of research and investigation, Chris Blatchford has delivered a historic narrative of a nefarious organization that will go down as a classic in mob literature.

Paperback. Condition: New. For two decades, Rene Enriquez, aka 'Boxer', was a mob enforcer among the upper echelons of the Mafia. But he didn't work for the Italians. Or the Russians. He worked for the La Familia Mexicana, also knowns as La Eme, a powerful and fearsome mob organization that used a base army of approximately 60,000 heavily armed, loyal Latino gang members - the Surenos - to control California's crime world. The most dangerous gang in American history, they wave the flag of the Black Hand - and their reach is growing. In this riveting and bloody saga, Enriquez shares the story of La Eme with experienced investigative journalist Chris Blatchford. Unveiling the inner workings of this dangerous and powerful organization, Enriquez reveals how he devoted his life to the cause-only to find betrayal and disillusionment at the end of a bloody trail of violence that he followed for two decades. As gripping as it is terrifying, "The Black Hand" offers a window into a little known world and explores its implications for us all. Seller Inventory # LU-9780061944185
