Det. Richard Cain is one of the most notorious figures in Gangland history. Leading a double life, Cain was both a chief investigator for the Chicago police and a "made" man with close ties to mob boss Sam Giancana. He orchestrated police raids on gambling rings and carried out hits for the Chicago Outfit. In The Tangled Web, Cain's half-brother Michael J. Cain combs through years of research, interviews, family anecdotes, and rare documents, to create a comprehensive and compelling biography of this enigmatic figure.
In a story that reads like the plot of Martin Scorsese's The Departed, Cain made himself a household name in Chicago by gaining power on both sides of the law. Before his execution by shotgun in Rose's Sandwich Shop, Cain's legend would grow to the point of rumored involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the FBI's plot to assassinate Fidel Castro. Filled with fascinating and newly revealed facts, The Tangled Web tells the full story of this one-man crime wave.
This edition features an all-new introduction by the author.”
