Customer Reviews
Good book
The book was good light reading. I wish it would’ve went into the organize crime clients a bit more but I’m not disappointed that I bought it.
Defense Lawyer
Many characters with Italian names that were hard to follow. Found it somewhat wordy and had difficult time staying on point.
Tedious
Very informational but way too many words.
