Murder in the Garment District: The Grip of Organized Crime and the Decline of Labor in the United States is a thrilling new account of labor racketeering and corruption in mid-century New York, written by David Witwer and Catherine Rios.

The new book is “well-documented, well-written, and altogether terrific,” writes Prof. Robert D. Parmet in his review of the new title.
