Murder Inc.
Nothing like it before. Nothing like it since
Murder
Inc.
was
the
most
unusual,
brutal
and
extensive
collection
of
characters
the
American
underworld
had
ever
produced.
Culled
primarily
from
Brooklyn's
Brownsville
and
Ocean
Hill
sections,
these
official
on-call
killers
of
New
York's
larger
crime
Syndicate were a unified force of Jewish and Italian gangsters that treated murder as an art form for an entire decade.
They
were
called
mobsters,
thugs,
hoods
and
racketeers,
but
at
the
very
core...
they
were
assassins.
When
gangland
kingpins,
such
as
Louis
"Lepke"
Buchalter,
Charles
"Lucky"
Luciano
and
Benjamin
"Bugsy"
Siegel,
needed
a
contract
fulfilled
-
the
"Combination"
boys
would
eagerly
take
to
task
the
enforcement
duties,
which
included
methods
ranging
from
gunfire
to
fire
axes,
incineration to icepicks.
These
are
the
mysteries,
the
sordid
stories,
the
character
profiles,
alluring
and
lesser
known
tales
of
the
Mob's
Most
Deadly
Hit
Squad.
Meet
the
killers,
the
victims,
the
bosses,
the
lovers,
the
deceivers
and
the
gangbusters
that
made
up
a
nationally-
reaching
ensemble
cast
rivaling
anything
organized
crime
or
law
enforcement
had
ever
imagined
to
that
point
in
time.
Discover
the
nuances,
the
attitudes,
the
motivations,
the
ambitions
and,
thanks
to
little
honor
among
thieves,
the
scathing
revelations
that
lead to an inevitable downfall.
