Frank Costello Sent 8 ASSASSINS After Bumpy Johnson — All 8 DISAPPEARED

Описание: Frank Costello Sent 8 ASSASSINS After Bumpy Johnson — All 8 Disappeared, Then THIS Arrived at Costello's Door

April 14th, 1956. Frank Costello, one of the most powerful mob bosses in America, opened a mysterious package delivered to his penthouse. Inside was a wooden crate. When his bodyguard pried it open, what they found made a hardened enforcer step back in horror.

Eight severed right hands. Each wearing a gold pinky ring. Each ring engraved with initials Costello recognized immediately.

These were the hands of the eight professional assassins Costello had sent to kill Bumpy Johnson two weeks earlier. Men who'd disappeared without a trace. Men Costello thought had either succeeded or run away. He was wrong on both counts.

This is the true story of one of the most brutal and brilliant counter-attacks in organized crime history. Frank Costello made a catastrophic miscalculation—he thought Bumpy Johnson was just a Harlem gangster who could be eliminated with superior firepower. He sent eight experienced hitmen with $200,000 in contracts to prove it.

What Costello didn't know was that Bumpy had known about the hit for two weeks. He knew the assassins' names, the date, the plan, everything. And he'd prepared a trap so perfect that all eight killers were captured without a single shot being fired.
But Bumpy didn't just kill them. What he did was far more devastating.
