Here for the first time, Ed, along with Jake Brown, takes readers inside the investigations and trials of front-page courtroom battles, and offers never-before-explored tales of the exploits of famed gangsters like Henry Hill and Jimmy “The Gent” Burke! The iconic lawyer rivets readers with a cinematic roller coaster of a read in a gripping and entertaining storytelling style as seen for years on TV and in the documentary film world.
Ed faced off against the fiercest mob bosses in history. The legal victories he achieved in the courtroom quite literally devastated organized crime and public corruption at their peak. Here in the pages of CHASING GOODFELLAS, he takes readers inside two of those real-life investigations and prosecutions. First, he describes the electrifying details of the Lufthansa heist, the largest robbery in American history and the campaign of murder waged in its wake, and then presents the inside scoop on one of the most famous college sports betting scandals in history with the Boston College point-shaving case.
Ed chronicles step-by-step the exciting investigations that he and his FBI partners carried out, and describes in the most intimate way how he successfully conducted the two drama-filled, landmark trials that resulted. He follows up with entertaining descriptions of his unlikely appearance as himself in the classic film Goodfellas, and an even more unexpected three-decade relationship with Henry Hill, the Lufthansa and BC fixer he turned to make those cases.
