A book with the publication date of 2016, I just recently got around to reading. I have known about this heist for some time though even though I live on the West Coast. The book goes into the background of some of the people who the author has named as the people behind the heist. how they met, and then the plan. This was not something that they just thought of and pulled off, no they planed and planed then executed the heist with the plan they had, and to get away with all that they did that day was something not only for them but also a real hurt to the mob as well.
The Mafia who was using a front as their bank and vault for jewels and other goods were rocked that day. When the police arrived did, they file a report no, could they even tell people what was taken, yes but who are you going tell the police or the FBI what was there and how you came into the passion of said items? How can it be that still today not a single piece has been recovered, amazing? Today's value of the items would be upwards of 140 million dollars maybe more. What you think would be bubbling crucks actually got away with more than they even knew I believe. One thing people should know very few mobsters look like the ones you see on T.V. or the movies or even like Gotti. The older ones never wanted to be in the press, spotlight, a lot was short in stature but carried themselves differently.
This is an interesting book with interesting characters, with a lot of research by the author I found myself gripped to the story once I got started. A good story.
