 Veteran journalist and writer Jimmy Breslin revisits the mob milieu in this collection of stories and anecdotes about the wise guys. His writing breezily transitions from humorous to horrendous as he recounts tales of police corruption, mistaken identity, snitches and murder. The Good Rat is a great look at the ugly and anything-but-glamorous truth of organized crime. More Staff Picks »
