Overview
Post-World-War-II New Jersey was the breeding ground for some of the most notorious mobsters in American history. Their business was crime. Their capital was influence. And their leaders controlled every facet of American life for nearly half a century.
These wiseguys had the power to save your life or end your life with a single phone call. But who did they call when they needed help?
Attorney Chris Franzblau spent more than seventy years representing and socializing with some of the most notorious figures in organized crime, including Genovese boss Jerry Catena; Teamsters Jimmy Hoffa and Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano; various bosses, thugs, and hitmen; and even entertainment icons Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett.
At ninety-three years old, Franzblau has outlived them all—and he’s ready to tell the tales that made him the go-to lawyer for the mob.
The Last Mob Lawyer explores his seventy-year career working at the intersection of organized crime, politics, entertainment, and business. As you follow along, you will discover:
- What really happened to Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa—and where he’s buried.
- How secret 1965 FBI wiretaps blew the lid off the mob’s full reach, hierarchy, and influence over some of the most powerful families in the country.
- How the mob saved the careers of music icons Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.
- The intense legal battle to prevent the extradition of Meyer Lanskey, one of the most well-known mobsters in the country, back to the US for criminal prosecution.
- And so much more.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Mafia, organized crime, or the seedy side of twentieth-century American history.
