The Canary Sang but Couldn't Fly by Edmund Elmaleh PDF Summary

Book Description: A detailed re-examination of the mysterious 1941 death of a mafia informant. It remains one of the most enduring mysteries in gangland lore: in 1941, while Abe Reles and three other key informants were under round-the-clock NYPD protection, the ruthless and powerful thug took a deadly plunge from the window of a Coney Island hotel. The first criminal of his stature to break the underworld’s code of silence, he had begun “singing” for the courts—giving devastating testimony that implicated former cronies—with more to come. With cops around him day and night, how could Abe have gone out the window? Did he try to escape? Did a hit man break in? Or did someone in the “squealer’s suite” murder him? Here’s the gripping story, packed with political machinations, legal sleight-of-hand, mob violence—and, finally, a proposed answer to the question: How did Abe Reles really die? “Elmaleh’s The Canary Sang but Couldn’t Fly is a riveting treatment of one of the most remarkable stories in the annals of American crime and politics. A great read!”—Kevin Baker, author of Dreamland, Paradise Alley, and Strivers Row “Elmaleh has brought fresh energy, a fresh point of view, and a flair for original research to this story, tracing its conspiracies in the best tradition of life mimicking film noir. This blank spot in New York’s underworld history deserves to be filled, and Elmaleh fills it.” —Kenneth D. Ackerman, author of Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield; Boss Tweed: The Rise and Fall of the Corrupt Pol Who Conceived the Soul of Modern New York; and Young J. Edgar: Hoover, the Red Scare, and the Assault on Civil Liberties “Mob history buffs will be pleased with Elmaleh’s attention to detail and hefty collection of transcripts.” —Publishers Weekly
