Deal with the Devil: The FBI's Secret Thirty-Year Relationship

Deal with the Devil: The FBI's Secret Thirty-Year Relationship with a Mafia Killer

In Deal with the Devil, five-time Emmy Awardâ€“winning investigative reporter Peter Lance draws on three decades of once-secret FBI files to tell the definitive story of Greg Scarpa Sr., a Mafia capo who â€œstopped countingâ€ after fifty murders, while secretly betraying the Colombo crime family as a Top Echelon FBI informant.

Lance traces Scarpaâ€™s shadowy relationship with the FBI all the way back to 1960, when his debriefings went straight to J. Edgar Hoover. In forty-two years of murder and racketeering, Scarpa served only thirty days in jail thanks to his secret relationship with the Feds.
Â
This is the untold story that will rewrite Mafia history as we know it â€”a page-turning work of journalism that reads like a Scorsese film. Deal with the Devil includes more than 130 illustrations, crime scene photos, and never-before-seen FBI documents.
