Double cross - Sam Giancana

Sam 'Mooney' Giancana started as a hitman for Al Capone. Brutually violent and ruthlessly ambitious, he clawed his way to the top of the Mafia hierarchy. In Hollywood he was the Mafia. He 'did business' with major stars, with Frank Sinatra, with Marilyn Monroe, with the CIA, Cuba, the Vatican, Ferdinand Marcos and the Shah of Iran. And when Joe Kennedy gave him the chance to use mob muscle to get his son John elected, he jumped at it. JFK would be in the White House - and Giancana would be the power behind the throne. But then the Kennedys double crossed him. With crusading zeal they went after the Mafia. So Giancana went after the Kennedys - and altered the course of American history.

Only one person knew the whole story: Giancana's brother Chuck. With his son Sam he tells it in its chilling, apalling entirety - and reveals the truth behind the deaths of Marilyn Monroe and JFK.
