Great book titled ‘The Black Hand’ written by Stephan Talty about the life and career of Lt. Pestrosino. Incredibly brilliant and devoted NYPD cop and his dedicated fight against the early years of the US mafia.
Have a friend who is interested in acquiring a signed/monogrammed Halligan tool by Chief Hugh A. Halligan. Anyone with info or leads let me know please.
