Family Affair - Treachery, Greed & Betrayal in the Chicago Mafia
by Sam Giancana and Scott M. Burnstein

Facing a court-ordered blood test matching his blood to that at the crime scene, as well as a murder contract placed on his head by the mob, Nick Calabrese has turned government witness and spilled the beans on a series of gangland homicides.  One of these murders is the infamous double execution of Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro and his younger brother, Michael.  Until now, this has been one of the most notoriously unsolved gangland assassinations in U.S. history.   

Sam Giancana, the godson and nephew of Mafia Godfather, Sam “Momo” Giancana, along with investigative crime journalist, Scott M. Burnstein, have delved into the mysterious inner world of the deadly Chicago mafia.  Following a federal racketeering indictment, an enormous governmental legal effort titled, "Operation Family Secrets" charged 14 defendants, several of who are members of the current Chicago crime family administration, with 18 previously unsolved gangland homicides.  Family Affair - Treachery, Greed, & Betrayal in the Chicago Mafia provides scintillating details about the ferocious gangsters who rule the Midwest.


Book Cover Double Deal: The Inside Story of Murder, Unbridled Corruption, and the Cop who was a Mobster
by Michael Corbitt and Sam Giancana

New York Times Bestseller

A true story of murder, unbridled corruption, and the cop who was a mobster.

Michael Corbitt - along with Sam Giancana, the godson and namesake of the former Chicago mob boss - tells the gritty often gruesome, personal account of how he slipped between the deadly, conflicting worlds of cop and mobster with terrifying, almost schizophrenic ease. Among the astonishing, news-making revelations:

  • The man who called for Sam Giancana's murder - and who carried it out.
  • The new "clean" Las Vegas and its dirty secrets. An eyewitness account of the millions still being skimmed by organized crime from major casinos.
  • The Mob's involvement in Central and South America, the Phillipines, Israel and the Middle East, and its ties to covert CIA activities around the world.
Michael Corbitt was a highly decorated officer while on the Mob's payroll. After serving more than 11 years in prison and refusing to testify against organized crime figures, he began working undercover to help the FBI investigate organized crime. Sam Giancana is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Double Cross.
