Syndicate, Mafia, Cartel, Organization, Cosa Nostra... These names are firmly associated with the famous gangster Al Capone. However, he was far from being the founder of the powerful criminal empire. For decades, remaining practically unnoticed by both the mafia and government agents, pulling the strings behind Capone's patron and teacher was the quiet prophet of vice named Johnny 'J.T.' Torrio. He spread his networks so wide that only half a century after his death did Washington dare to declassify the materials of the federal investigation into his case. Murders, extortion, control over prostitution, gambling, and illegal alcohol trade, wholesale and retail purchase of corrupt politicians and police officers - these and other aspects of the dark biography of the man whom the FBI called 'the smartest of all criminals' will be revealed on the pages of this book.
