| Mobbed Up A Donnie Brasco mystery by Joseph D. Pistone Penguin Putnam (Onyx Books) 355 pages, April 2000 ISBN 0451409108 Reviewed by: Marion E. Cason Mobbed Up is the third thriller featuring the rogue FBI undercover agent Donnie Brasco. This time he is working undercover for Horizon Movers at La Guardia Airport, transferring cargo off Logan Air Express airplanes. His assignment: Infiltrate the East Coast Mafia smuggling operation. As the new man, Donnie has to prove he can handle himself with the underworld musclemen. Not only is the East Coast Mafia sizing him up, but the Russian Mafia is also watching him. They admire his style: quick thinker, inquisitive, yet a controlled fighter. Donnie, well trained in the martial arts, can hold his own in most fights and the Italian musclemen test him to his limit. When a Mafioso recognizes Donnie, he flexes his power by forcing Donnie to find out what the Russian Mafia is doing in New York. The Russian Mafia has their own agenda and court Donnie to spy on the Italians. With one Mafia group pitted against the other, it brings breathtaking action, split-second timing and guts. Donnie has it all. When another element is introduced, it raises the stakes to an even higher level, one that puts Donnie almost over the edge. By chance, Donnie discovers what the Russians are planning that threatens thousands of innocent people. It is something more horrible than heroin. This thriller is nonstop action. Joseph D. Pistone, ex-Donnie Brasco, clearly brings to life his chilling experiences. |
