Windy City Mafia: The Chicago Outfit

This isn’t a history book. It’s a front-row seat.

In Windy City Mafia: The Chicago Outfit, retired Kansas City Intelligence detective Gary Jenkins pulls back the curtain on the mob’s most compelling—and often untold—stories, drawn from years behind the microphone of his Gangland Wire podcast. These aren’t recycled headlines. They’re the moments, the characters, and the inside angles that stuck with him—the ones that reveal how the Outfit really operated.

You’ll walk the fairways with Al Capone as he plays a casual round of golf alongside killers like Jack McGurn, Fred Burke, and Jake Guzik—a scene that feels almost ordinary until you realize who’s holding the clubs. It’s a snapshot of power, camaraderie, and menace hiding in plain sight.

From there, Jenkins delivers six more tightly wound stories—each one peeling back another layer of Chicago’s underworld—until it all culminates in the chilling account of Harry Aleman, one of the Outfit’s most relentless killers.

Sharp, direct, and grounded in a lawman’s perspective, this book captures the grit, the tension, and the strange normalcy of men who lived by violence and loyalty. If you want the Chicago Outfit without the mythology—this is where you start.In this book, Gary tells selected stories from his podcast. these are stories he thought were some of the most interesting and entertaining from his show. Al Capone playing golf with “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn, Fred “Killer” Burke and Jake “Greasy Thumb” Guzik was a fun story. This and six more like this end with the story of Harry “The Hook” Aleman, one of the Outfit’s most prolific killers.

Big Apple Mafia: Stories From the Five Families

This is where the myth ends and the truth begins

In Big Apple Mafia: Stories From the Five Families, Mafia podcaster and former organized crime investigator Gary Jenkins takes you inside New York’s underworld—twelve hard-edged, true stories that expose how the Five Families built, protected, and ultimately fractured their empire. This is the mob without the gloss: calculated, disciplined, and often brutally efficient.

You’ll sit in the room with Frank Costello, the diplomat who ruled with influence instead of bullets, and watch the rise of Lucky Luciano, the architect who organized chaos into a national crime syndicate. Jenkins doesn’t just profile the bosses—he shows you the system they built, and the investigators who slowly learned how to break it.

The book pulls back the curtain on Murder Inc.—a cold, methodical killing machine—and the doomed gamble of Abe Reles, whose cooperation with law enforcement led to one of the most suspicious deaths in mob history. You’ll witness the media-savvy reign of John Gotti, who turned crime into spectacle, and step into the disturbing world of Tommy Pitera, a killer whose precision made him as feared as he was relentless.

But these are just the headlines.

What sets this book apart is the depth—the lesser-known stories, the quiet alliances, the betrayals that never made the papers, and the investigators who chipped away at an empire that once seemed untouchable. Jenkins connects the dots, revealing how power actually moved through the streets, the social clubs, and the back rooms of New York City.

If you want mythology, look elsewhere.
