Set in New York City in the mid-1980s, The Good Guys finds the Russian Mafia, the Italian Mafia, and the Feds racing against each other to track down a mysterious professor of Russian languages from Columbia University. Rumors circulate that the professor had been moonlighting for the Russian mob, working on fuel oil deals involving millions of dollars. Now all parties involved will stop at nothing to get their hands on him. The converging manhunts offer listeners a firsthand look at the gritty, in-your-face competition between the Russian and Italian mobs and how each does business.

The plot doesn't necessarily shine with intrigue, but the informative asides given by Pistone and Bonanno respectively are great, one-of-a-kind. They really delve into the psychology of their jobs and the cultures that they existed in.
The narrator is great. He nails all the different characters and performs the wiseguy dialogue with some real dramatic skill.
Excellent narration and informative look

It is interesting to read about events from the Cold War era since this book is told in the period of the mid to late 1980's.
Only a couple of mistakes but I'm not sure if they are due to the reader or the author. In either case it isn't enough to take away from the book.
If you are at all interested in mob culture or the FBI this is a great book. It doesn't hurt that it is written by two insiders. The Unabridged version is also better than the abridged since it is read by Stephen Hoye and not the authors. Hoye does a great job with the voices.
Outstanding Inside Look
