Publisher Description
Former head of the Bonnano crime family, Bill Bonnano, and former undercover FBI agent Joe Pistone (aka Donnie Brasco) have collaborated with David Fisher on a riveting thriller about organized crime. Set in New York City in the mid-1980s, The Good Guys finds the Russian Mafia, the Italian Mafia, and the Feds racing against each other to track down a mysterious professor of Russian languages from Columbia University. Rumors circulate that the professor had been moonlighting for the Russian mob, working on fuel oil deals involving millions of dollars. Now all parties involved will stop at nothing to get their hands on him. The converging manhunts offer listeners a firsthand look at the gritty, in-your-face competition between the Russian and Italian mobs and how each does business.

The Good Guys Listener Reviews

" Great story on the mob. The back and forth between the FBI's perspective and the Mob's perspective was great. If you like this kind of book, this is great. "

" Soft story, interesting inside stuff. "
— Dave, 9/6/2013 -
" Very interesting as the book is a collaboration of an ex-FBI agent and an ex-mob boss. The story was good, if somewhat predictable. Unfortunately I listened to, rather than read the book. The authors read the book and Joe Pistone, reading the FBI chapters left a lot to be desired. "

" A little raw and edgy in places but the perspective changes with every other chapter. One chapter mob characters, next FBI and so on. The story is gripping but not for the faint of heart. "

" On the CD, the book is not well read. I enjoyed the plot, and guess the book is better. "

" It took me forever to get through the audiobook. I found the characters pretty flat and the story generally anticlimactic. "
