RaveThe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review[Inspector Oldfield\'s] amazing story...is expertly told ... the book is a quick read that vividly lays out how the gangsters’ scheme worked, how Inspector Oldfield battled against his own superiors to convince them the case was worth pursuing, and how something as simple as the postal service could be used to undertake a vast criminal conspiracy ... for anyone with an interest in Mafia lore, the history of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (which had surprisingly broad power in the early 1900s) or a taste for true-crime history that reaches into western Pennsylvania, Inspector Oldfield and the Black Hand Society is the perfect read.
