1001 True Crime Stories: INSIDER CASES
What does it take to walk into the Mafia, convince organized criminals that you're one of them, and live that double life without giving yourself away?
In this special INSIDER CASES edition of 1001 True Crime Stories, host Jon Hagadorn talks with Giovanni Rocco, author of Giovanni's Ring: My Life Inside the Real Sopranos.
Rocco shares the remarkable story of his undercover work penetrating New Jersey's DeCavalcante crime family, the organization that became widely associated with the phrase "the real Sopranos."
This isn't Hollywood. There's no script and no second take.
Rocco takes us inside the dangerous world of undercover police work and explains what it was like to build the trust of people who could never be allowed to discover who he really was. It is a fascinating look at organized crime from the perspective of someone who actually stepped inside that world.
It's exactly the kind of story our new INSIDER CASES series was created to bring you: remarkable crimes and investigations told by the cops, investigators, attorneys, authors and others who were close enough to know what really happened.
