Gangland

De: Chuck Hogan

Narrado por: Justin Price

In this "masterly" thriller from the acclaimed author of The Town, the right‑hand man of one of the most infamous mob bosses in American history goes on a dangerous mission (New York Times Book Review).

In the late 1970s, The Outfit, led by Tony Accardo, has the entire city of Chicago in its grip. When the bracelet he bought his wife is stolen in a jewelry heist, Tony has his loyal soldier Nicky Passero track it down—by whatever means necessary. What Accardo doesn't know: Nicky has a secret which has made his life impossible and has put him in the pocket of the FBI.

Based on the true story of Tony Accardo, the longest‑reigning mob capo in history, Gangland is a Shakespearean drama of integrity, lost honor, and revenge. Gritty and action‑packed, it is Chuck Hogan's most thrilling novel yet.

Great listen 🎧

Chuck Hogan knows how to tell a story the right way. Really enjoyed this one.

Great

I cannot find any more combo of author and narrator-that is a shame-great mob story

Serviceable gritty 70’s crime novel

Interesting, if not riveting story, not a lot of depth or atmosphere, yet distracting enough to pass the time.

Slow start

This one started slow but when it got going it was truly terrific. Hogan never disappoints

Comfort food for the brain

I think of this sort of book as “comfort food“, engaging, and distracting, if you’re into this kind of genre. It is not high art, nor is it revelatory. But it’s well done for what it is. There are some really criminally bad examples of writing out there so it’s good to acknowledge it when something as well done.

Great story !

Very entertaining and informative story about 1970’s Chicago mob life. Performance is terrific. Highly recommend.

Great Story Worth The Creadit

Loved this book from beginning to the end. You won’t be disappointed if you like murder and backstabbing.

Much better than I thought

I enjoy reading nonfiction true crime I'm fimilar with . NYC with the five family's- commission meetings - names - Gotti , Vito Genovese , Fat Tony , The Chin Gigante , bur I think I read most of em . I really enjoy the era when I was growing up 70s , 80, 90s when those guys were powerhouses , literally ran NYC . NJ & some of Philly. This was my first one about "THE Outfit" Chicago's guys. It would be awesome to know the TRUTH. The way it really went down . Loved it just the same tho. Thank you .

loved It

great story read well got a bit lost at times but for the most part it was a well put together book

Fictional true crime!

Brilliant plot, wonderful characters, including a lot of Tony Accardo and Doves Aiuppa—real scary gangsters. Great performance and the voices and accents are spot on. Just get it if you love the genre of crime fiction.
