Jerry Capeci selects Wiseguys, Rabbis as a top book of the year

This year, Wiseguys, Rabbis, and the FBI was behind several columns covering events in the book. In the January 1, 2026 edition, Jerry actually named Wiseguys, Rabbis, and the FBI the second based mob book of the year. (we'll take being number two!) Click on artwork right, to see the full page. He also referred to our interview with lawyer, David Breitbart, who passed away several years ago after an impressive career as a criminal defense attorney.

To continue from the story above, the first lines of Capeci's story capture the exploits of Mel Cooper perfectly: "Mel Cooper, born 78 years ago in Brooklyn, is now retired there. In between, the ex-mob associate had an exciting, exhilarating, but sometime depressing life in New York and elsewhere." Exactly.
