Just received a little gift ,again from the wife.."Deal with the Devil" by Peter Lance...about Greg Scarpa's relationship w/ F.B.I. agent Lin DeVecchio, A quick look thru & it looks promising. Anybody get to this read yet ? is it worth it? Comments?
I enjoyed it. Showed how Scarpa was more evil than I even thought he was. One thing to be prepared for is that it is more investigative journalism than someone telling a story. A lot of pouring over old documents.
I liked the book too,and agree with you about Scarpa. Sometimes I think the media and people in general use words like evil and psychopath a little too loosely, but with Scarpa it fits. The guy was a despicable character, he didn't have a positive effect on one person. The guy truly only cared about himself. He had two of his sons kill their best friends. The guy destroyed the lives of many individuals and their family.
