His last book, Mob Rules, was an international bestseller translated into twenty languages, and his Discovery Channel series, Inside the Gangsters’ Code, earned him a Grierson Award nomination for Presenter of the Year. For his contribution to American history, he was made an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
