A few years after the infamous Al Capone fell from grace in 1931, Italian-born gangster Charles “Lucky” Luciano rose to power as the American Mafias lord of vice. With control over gambling, horse races, drug rings, and murder for hire, he manipulated both law enforcement and politicians in St. Tammany Hall, eliminating rival crime lords through intimidation or assassination. New Yorks determined special prosecutor, Tom Dewey, was relentless in his pursuit of Luciano, ultimately convicting him in 1936 for running a lucrative prostitution ring. This compelling book, published in 1954, tells the poignant story of a high-end escort who confided in the author—a reporter covering the trial—about her harrowing experiences within Lucianos vice ring. She recounts how she became ensnared in this dark world, shares her background and that of other women, and describes the harsh realities of their living conditions, compensation, and treatment. With raw honesty, she reflects on the emotional toll of her life and the type of wealthy clients who sought their services. Furthermore, she reveals how she and her peers coped after Luciano’s incarceration. This fascinating narrative, crafted by those whose identities remain concealed for their safety, serves as a cautionary tale The years of fast living, of fear from the Syndicate’s enforcers or police action, have left their mark on me... I fervently hope the sordid details of my past life will serve as a constant reminder to parents and young people alike, preventing others from making the same terrible choices I did. - Summary by Michele FryCopyright Nature and Animals ノンフィクション犯罪 世界 社会科学 科学
