The Cooley Account

Author: Neal Edelstein

What started as research for a movie resulted in these recordings. This is the life story of Bob Cooley, a man who accomplished the impossible by decapitating Al Capone's criminal operation.  In the 1970s, Bob Cooley was a young cop who decided to become a lawyer and quickly became an insider for the Chicago mob, which controlled the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois. This multipart conversation details the inner workings of the notorious Chicago crime syndicate. From politicians on the take to a corrupt court system and cold-case murders. There are also never-before-revealed details about cult icon Count Dante and mob fixture Pat Marcy. If youre intrigued by organized crime, political corruption, and other matters of deceit, this story is for you.
