Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "From childhood, Arlyne Weiss seemed destined for a life in the underworld. Her grandmother, Ida Blum, operated a Lower East Side funeral parlor that served as unofficial headquarters forr a gang of gamblers and union racketeers. Ida, with her jewels, ermines, and young lovers, exposed Arlyne to the enticements of crime. By the time the girl had reached her teens, she had modeled herself after the flamboyant Virginia Hill, Bugsy Siegel's girlfriend and "a broad that really made it good." In the years to come, Arlyne would become an accomplished seductress, taking as lovers scores of "wiseguys," including Joe Colombo and the Bonanno hit man Tony Mirra. Plying the trade of a "mob girl," whe served not only as lover and confidante to leading figures in New York's underworld society but, more important in an era when federal investigators had discovered the potential of the wiretap, she rendered herself invaluable as a courier of confidential messages. At the age of twenty-three, Arlyne vowed to become an honest woman and settled down to marry. But the eccentricities and persistent philandering of her husband - a furrier named Brickman - drove her back into the arms of her wiseguy lovers. For over thirteen years, she found herself enmeshed in a tortured and sometimes violent relationship with a hood from the Genovese family. The proprietor of a prospering numbers business, he ruined his prospects by compulsive gambling. Arlyne was forced to assume the role of "businesswoman," running his operation and staving off creditors, including John Gotti, When a crew of loansharks threatened to harm her daughter, Brickman appealed for help to the Fort Lee police and thus began her career as an informant. Once she had broken the taboo against ratting, she discovered the excitement and danger of working for the other side. Her reputation as a gun-for-hire spread quickly throughout law enforcement, and she found herself courted by the Nassau County police, New York City police, the DEA, and the FBI. In what would be the crowning case of her career, Arlyne Brickman was recriuted by the government to assist in its landmark RICO prosecution of Boss Carmine Persico and the Colombo Family. She performed fearlessly, wearing a wire and dogging loansharks through the streets of Brooklyn. Her undercover work sent one of Persico's top lieutenants to prison for thirty-five years. In Mob Girl, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Teresa Carpenter captures the real Arlyne Brickman in all her brassy glory. In every role - girlfriend, operative, and informant - Brickman, true to her own notions of integrity, played by the same rules: those of deception and betrayal. She considered police and federal agents just another set of players who could be as ruthless and exploitative as her cohorts in the mob. Whether operating outside the law or within it, Arlyne Brickman reveled in manipulation. As poignant as it was often violent, hers is an extraordinary life, one that is brilliantly depicted in this riveting biography." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
