"I know Sal Vizzini both as a friend and one of the most effective undercover agents the Bureau ever had. If it meant 'making a case,' he would grow a tail and dance with the devil." - Harry J. Anslinger, former Commissioner, Federal Bureau of Narcotics. Charles "Lucky" Luciano (Salvatore Lucania) also knew Sal Vizzinin as a "friend," a U.S. Air Force Major called "Michael Anthony Cerra" who for three years conducted an off-and-on palship in Naples with the exiled Mafia capo. Here, in his own words and for the first time, Vizzini draws on hitherto classified Bureau files to detail the proof of Luciano's influence from overseas with the syndicate, especially in his beloved New York. It was at Luciano's villa thirty-six miles norht of Rome that "Major Mike Cerra" saw Luciano receive pay-off money from Frank Costello; send warnings to such as Vito Genovese and Carlo Gambino that their accounts were in arrears (they paid up, plus interest); as judge and jury of a Mafia court condemn or reprieve wayward associates (they called him "the peacemaker"). It was also at Luciano's villa or Naples apartment that Vizzini, during games of gin rummy, heard from The Man his charge that he'd been framed by one-time Governor of New York Tom Dewey, his tory of how he helped the U.S. Navy during World War II, how he got the name "Lucky" and why his friends who knew better never used it, and his disclosures about the Mafia, who ran it, and his countinuing role in it - indiscretions that led to arrests thousands of miles away. For thirteen years Sal Vizzini was undercover, infiltrating a heroin factory in Palermo, exposing the top-and-underdogs of the heroin traffic in Istanbul, Beirut and Marseilles, blowing up the largest concentration of hard drugs under one roof in a Southeast Asian heroin factory, and finally blowing his cover as a croupier in San Juan while trying to expose the cocaine smuggling that allegedly helped finance Castro's regime. Sal Vizzini managed to live to retire, and then to take on his present position of Chief of Police, City of South Miami. His co-authors, Oscar Fraley (author of The Untouchables) and Marshall Smith (former senior editor of Life) are also residents of Florida. Together, in Sal Vizzini's own words, they present the personal vendetta of a man whose lifetime has been spent in combat against the international traffic in narcotics, and those whose obscenity is their profit from it." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "Fascinating. Probably the most exciting true crime narrative since The French Connection." - Los Angeles Times. Signed by Author(s).
