Summary

Before Frank Calabrese Jr. realized that he had to turn on his father in order to save his life and reconcile with his wife and children, he had worked alongside his father and his Uncle Nick in loan sharking, gambling, labor racketeering, and extortion. This is the dramatic tale of how for six months, unmonitored and unprotected, he wore a wire in the prison where both he and his father were serving time, as his father revealed details of decades of crimes.
