Summary

By the author of Grand Delusions: The Cosmic Career of John DeLorean.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Bob Cooley was the Chicago Mafiaâs fixer of court cases. During the 1970s and â80s, Cooley bribed judges, juries, and cops to keep his Mob clients out of jail. Paid handsomely for his services, he lived fast and enjoyed the protection of the men he served. Yet, by the end of the â90s, without a pending conviction, he became the star witness in nine federal trials that took down the most powerful Mafia family in the history of organized crime. When Corruption Was King is the story of a Mob lawyer turned mole with a million-dollar contract on his head who went back and forth between sin and sainthoodâa turbulent youth, a stint on Chicagoâs police force, law school, and then the inner sanctum of Chicagoâs wiseguys. He dined with Mob bosses and shared âlast suppersâ with friends before their gangland executions. In a startling act of conscience, Cooley walked into the office of the U.S. Organized Crime Strike Force and agreed to wear a wire on the very same Mafia overlords who had made him a player. This book, including eight pages of memorable photographs, reveals the personal story behind the federal governmentâs most successful Mafia investigation.
