Overview

Nearly forty years after Jimmy Hoffa vanished from the face of the earth his disappearance still remains one of the biggest mysteries in crime history. At his zenith, Hoffa was reputed to be the most powerful figures in North America. The labour boss was never seen again after 30 July 1975 marking one of the most unexplainable cold cases ever. In this book, freelance journalist William Hryb attempts to unravel the five-decade long riddle.

Alleged to have close ties with organised crime, Hoffa became the target of sensational congressional hearings into organised crime spearheaded by Robert Kennedy.
