His murder would become part of one of the most notorious chapters in Chicago organized crime history.Seifert had once been closely associated with powerful figures in the Chicago Outfit. But when he became a key witness in a federal investigation involving organized crime, the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund, and Las Vegas casino financing, those relationships turned deadly.Caught between federal investigators and the Mob figures he once called business partners, Seifert knew too much, and the consequences would devastate his family.In Deadly Associates: A Story of Murder and Survival, author Matthias McCarn examines the shadowy world of the Chicago Outfit, its connections to influential figures such as Tony Accardo, Sam Giancana, Irwin Weiner, and Jimmy Hoffa, and the corruption that linked Chicago's underworld to organized labor and Las Vegas.But this is more than another account of Mob violence, corruption, and betrayal.It is the story of a family left behind.For more than three decades, Daniel Seifert's murder remained officially unsolved. Although investigators had suspects, no one was brought to justice for the killing. Meanwhile, his wife and children were left to rebuild their lives in the shadow of a crime that had shattered their family.Their long wait for answers would ultimately lead to the historic Family Secrets trial, one of the most significant organized crime prosecutions in Chicago history.The story also reached television audiences through a documentary featured on REELZ. Following the book's narrative, the documentary features on-camera interviews with author Matthias McCarn and members of the Seifert family, bringing their extraordinary story to the screen.Meticulously researched and deeply human, Deadly Associates takes readers beyond the notorious names and violent headlines to explore the lasting consequences of organized crime and the extraordinary resilience of those forced to live with them.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/69/298/379/0692983791_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.95", "online_price" : "14.95", "our_price" : "14.95", "club_price" : "14.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
