{"product_id":"9781939521279","title":"Murder Inc.","description":"Murder Inc. is the fascinating story of the New York Mob's most ruthless hit squad. When the Big Bosses of crime - Charles Lucky Luciano, Louis \"Lepke\" Buchalter, Meyer Lansky, Benjamin Bugsy Siegel and Frank Costello among them- essentially reshaped the structure of the New York underworld in 1931 a new era of mobster was born. Organized, disciplined and having no mercy for those that would jeopardize the ultimate goal...earning illicit money. In order to enforce the rules of conduct and further protect the hierarchy of gangland leadership an arm of the mob was created to carry out a very special brand of justice. Culled primarily from the Jewish and Italian Brooklyn areas of Brownsville and Ocean Hill, these specialists within the underworld came to be known as the Murder Inc. These are the salacious, insidious, and fascinating side-stories and lesser known mysteries of history's most bizarre decade of crime. Murder Inc. - Nothing like before, nothing like it since.","brand":"Strategic Media Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049970614512,"sku":"9781939521279","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939521279_p0.jpg?v=1763666384","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939521279","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
