Mob Lawyer

Soon after his release from Federal prison, my father, Frank Ragano, was subpoenaed before a Congressional committee investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Unlike so many witnesses before him, he does not invoke the Fifth Amendment. Diagnosed with prostate cancer and aware that his time is limited, my father makes a decision that shocks everyone around him: he will finally tell the truth.

Before his death, Frank confides in his son, Christon Ragano — himself now an accomplished attorney — and reveals everything he knew about the mob's involvement in the assassination of JFK and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. What follows is not merely a confession, but a reckoning. As Christon pieces together the secrets his father carried for decades, he becomes the target of a covert government sting operation designed to silence or compromise him. But Christon possesses the same instincts and legal brilliance his father spent a lifetime developing. He refuses to take the bait.

The uncensored edition also exposes one of the most explosive revelations surrounding organized crime in Florida: Santo Trafficante Jr., long feared as the most powerful mob boss in the South, secretly operated as an FBI informant for much of his reign.
