Double Deal: The Inside Story of Murder, Unbridled Corruption, and the Cop Who Was a Mobster

i couldn't put the book down! I live close to this suburb and i can believe what was going on.

As a life long resident of the SW side of Chicago I was able to corroborate many of the accounts Mr. Corbitt gives in Double Deal. Many of the "baby boomers" who were "in the Know" from my area stated that Mr. Corbitt was a very influential gangster associate on the SW side. The man was heavy and dangerous. He killed people,but many were in the line of duty. He also made it very clear in the book that he wasn't an angel.The man gives some very accurate accounts of his life and experiences

AS A BIG FAN OF MR GIANCANA THE (AUTHOR) I FIND IT AMAZING THAT HE IS ABLE TO FIND THIES PEOPLE TO WRITE ABOUT. THIS STORY WAS ONE THAT KEPT YOU TRUNING THE PAGES AND NOT WANTING IT TO END.THIS WAS AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN GOODFELLOWS AND CORBITT MUCH MORE INTRESTING THEN HENRY HILL THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE CHICAGO CREW AND MOSSAD AND OTHER HISTORIC FIGURES MAKES ME THINK THAT IF GIANCANA AND CORBITT ARE NOT BEING SUED THEM MUCH OF THIS MUST BE TRUE.MAKES YOU THINK? GREAT READ!

I could not put the book down. Being origianlly from Chicago I do not doubt the authenticity of the book. It is amazing that we have not heard more about this book from the major media. The book reveals the dark side of todays politicians and public sevants. Is the major media afraid to take on sitting politicians and important government officials? I give the author credit for being so brave to write this book as I am sure his life is in danger right now. Has anyone asked Mayor Daley and the Justice Department about this book?? Some investigative reported should run with this.Carl J. AbbateMilton, Florida

A great read and one of the few books that I couldn't put down. I read it in two sittings and fans of the genre will be both amazed and spellbound by the imagry and details of a life that reads like a modern Ishmael in a sea of certian peril where the waters run deep and deeper. One should always be careful of what they wish for, as Corbitt might have said in any number of ways here; there is a price to pay for alliances, but you've got to admire a guy who has found his way through the maze of unregistered power and lived, so far, to tell the tale.
