Aprašymas

They'd never kill a reporter.... On the morning of April 29, 1948, a West Side pier hiring boss was shot on his way to work. The murder reminded the New York Sun's city editor of a similar docks killing from the year before, and so he called over his best general assignment man, Malcolm Mike Johnson, telling him, Lots of unrest down there. Maybe you can get a story out of it. Johnson certainly did, discovering the greatest story of his long career, and a waterfront jungle with rich pickings for criminal gangs. His crime series ran on the Sun's front page for twenty-four days in the fall of 1948, raising a national scandal and bringing death threats on him and his family. Johnson alleged the existence of an international crime syndicate, at a time when J. Edgar Hoover would not admit that such a syndicate, let alone a Mafia, existed.
