From a review: "From about 1960 on the first-person account of Ray Flynn's life in the mob is well worth the price of admission… The publication is not worth the high price of admission neither is the writing. But then again Ray Flynn was not a professional writer so he should be cut some slack on that aspect of the book." From a different reviewer: "I have been searching and searching for years on the murder of my grandfather at the "hands" or at the "hit" of Buster Wortman. 53 years later after many hours of speaking to lots of people I have tracked down and numerous hours on the internet I see my grandfathers name in this book. It brought tears seeing this. Today I'm still in shock over it. I did enjoy the book otherwise.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Michael J. Flynn. First Edition so stated. Softcover. Good condition.
