The Good Rat (cover detail), by Jimmy Breslin |
By host Tom Ashbrook
Jimmy Breslin is as New York as New York gets. Reporter, famed columnist, newspaper guy, novelist -- for decades he's worked the streets of the Big Apple. The pols, the teams, the wise guys.
Now, at 77, Breslin is going deep on the mob, with a lifetime of Mafia reporting and the story of one man -- no angel -- who took down a pair of dirty cops.
He's got Jimmy "The Clam," Sammy "The Bull," Dostoyevsky in the wings, and a lot to say.
This hour, On Point: New York's Jimmy Breslin -- on the city, the world, and his new book "The Good Rat."
