Lucky Luciano The Rise and Fall of a Mob Boss
Charley "Lucky" Luciano was instrumental to the development of the American Mafia and
supervised the attempt to dominate prostitution in New York City. Not surprisingly, he has been the subject of numerous biographies, exposés, and various works of urban folklore since his death
in 1962.
This book takes scholarship on Luciano to a new level, using fresh research on the investigation, arrest, and
conviction of Lucky Luciano to delve deep into the sexual and criminal underworld of New York City.
Topics include the complex structure of the New York City bordellos and the takeover that resulted in Luciano's
1936 arrest; his considerable role in the expansion of the international heroin trade; and the shocking attempt to sexually frame a member of prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey's staff in a desperate bid
to overturn Luciano's conviction.
