I'm with Neo, Chin just fucked up the hit. In his defence, he walked up to Costello and shot him at point blank range in the head. Blood came out. He probably thought he'd done the job
@Moe. Brotherhoods is a great book. I've gone back and looked through it many times. Craziest Casso story was how he shot Jimmy Hydell's dog after it tried to bite a Lucchese wiseguy!
Yeah, I've tried to recommend it to my brother (who doesn't really care about mob stuff save for Scorsese movies) but "he don't care", much like Bobby Bacala's kids don't care about toy trains.
It's probably my favourite mob related book.
