Fans of mobster stories will want to grab a copy of the foul-mouthed but fascinating memoir of Fred Pascente, the corrupt former Chicago cop who was tight with Tony Spilotro and a host of Las Vegas ne er-do-wells. Written with novelist Sam Reaves, the book is titled Mob Cop: My Life of Crime in the Chicago Police Department. A friend and business partner of former Crazy Horse Too boss Rick Rizzolo, Pascente also was a member of Nevada s casino Black Book.Pascente died in 2014, so I m guessing the book tour is out. Las Vegas Review-Journal

A detailed, gritty account of growing up around Grand Avenue and of life on both sides of the law, from someone who was a mob associate and a Chicago police officer at the same time. Sam Reaves s commentary that goes along with Fred Pascente s story is excellent. John J. Binder, author of The Chicago Outfit
