Description

“A STORY THAT NO OTHER AUTHOR COULD HAVE PUT
TOGETHER . . . Roemer [is] The usa’s most decorated FBI agent.”
–Chicago Tribune
For forty years Tony Accardo used to be The usa’s most dangerous criminal. He cut his teeth at the Chicago mob wars of Capone and Elliot Ness. He were given his nickname “Joe Batters” for killing two men with a baseball bat. As the bodies piled up, Capone’s youngest capo murdered and schemed his option to the top.
William Roemer used to be the first FBI agent to stand Tony “The Big Tuna” Accardo. Now, Roemer tells the story that only he could tell: the deals, the hits, the double-crosses, and the power plays that reached from the Windy City to Hollywood and to New York. Drawing on secret wiretaps and inside information, ACCARDO chronicles bloodshed and mayhem for more than six decades–as Roemer duels against essentially the most powerful don of all of them. . . .
“Roemer brings the truth of organized crime home to us.”
–Boston Herald
“A large, sprawled out account that serves as anecdotal history of organized crime.”
–Kirkus Reviews
