Mob Cop
Subtitled "My Life of Crime in the Chicago Police Department", Mob Cop
tells about former Chicago police officer and Outfit associate Fred
Pascente as the man who links Tony Spilotro, a central character in
Nicholas Pileggi??_??s Casino and one of Chicago??_??s most notori??__ous mob
figures, to William Hanhardt, chief of detectives of the Chicago Police
Department. Pascente and Spilotro grew up together on Chicago??_??s Near
West Side, and as young toughs they were rousted and shaken down by
Hanhardt. While Spilotro became one of the youngest made men in Chicago
Outfit history, Pascente was draft??__ed into the army and then joined the
police department. Soon taken under Hanhardt??_??s wing, Pascente served as
Hanhardt??_??s fixer and bagman on the department for more than a decade. At
the same time, Pascente remained close to Spilotro, mak??__ing frequent
trips to Las Vegas to party with his old friend while helping to rob the
casinos blind. As a policeman he led a double life, doing genuine
police work un??__der Hanhardt??_??s tutelage while at the same time keeping an
eye out for opportunities for bribery and theft. His position on both
sides of the law gave him unrivaled knowl??__edge of the workings of
Chicago??_??s deeply rooted culture of corruption. Mob Cop details
the decline of tra??__ditional organized crime in the United States, and
reveals information about the inner workings of the Outfit that has
never been publicly released. Fred Pascente??_??s col??__orful stories of
crooked cops and danger??__ous criminals make his memoir a matchless
tell-all. Photographs 328 Pgs. Hardcover 2015
