The Good Rat

The Good Rat: A True Story by Jimmy Breslin

Category: True Crime Grade: C

We can make this one quick. This is the true story of the testimony of Burton Caplan, a "canary" that sings about some crooked cops in Brooklyn who did murder and other work for a hire for the mob. Breslin's point seems to be that the Mafia just isn't terribly exciting or interesting any more. He's right - the book is proof.
