It is a very well researched book on the Underworld.
The author has mixed the imagination and the actual events very properly.
The feminine side of the gory underworld where the dons stooped low before their female counterparts is very interesting. Its a must read book for those who wants to know what really happens in the underworld rather than just watching the news of some goon killings and smuggling racket bustings.
At a lot of times, I felt like there is a vital bit of information missing but thats just for the people who want to go into that much detail.
grab it and read it.highly recommended!
