The Black Hand Terror in New York City
A long, lurid overview of extortion by the Black Hand, detailing victims like Antonio Spinella and Cassese, methods of threats and bombings, and detective actions. It recounts a case where Cassese survived a theater fire set by Black Hand agents and a separate shooting by Maria Abagnali against Orsini, illustrating a pervasive racket across Italian immigrant communities in New York.
