Abe “Kid Twist” Reles was one of the most vicious and disliked mobsters in the history of the American underworld. To make matters worse, Reles had a face only a mother could love. After winning a Brooklyn mob war against the three Shapiro brothers (Reles was involved in the murder of all three Shapiros), Reles took over the rackets in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. Reles and his vicious crew, dubbed “The Boys from Brownsville,” eventually caught the eye of Louie “Lepke” Buchalter, the only major crime boss in U.S. history to be executed by the government. Soon, Reles and his crew were charter members of Murder Inc., a battalion of killers who were responsible for somewhere between 500 and 1000 murders throughout the country. However, in January of 1940, Reles, who was sitting pretty and flush with illegal dough, was arrested and charged with the 1933 murder of small-time hood, Red Alpert. The reason for the pinch was that two of Reles’s flunkies, who had witnessed Alpert’s murder, feared for their own lives. They ran to the cops, and they both sang the same tune: “It was Abe Reles who killed Red Alpert.” Reles knew he was screwed. He knew that the District Attorney had all he needed to fry Reles’s butt in the electric chair. So, Reles did what no one in the underworld thought he was capable of doing: he became a rat. “Abe ‘Kid Twist’ Reles – The Fink Who Took Down Murder Inc.” tells the story of the rise and fall of Abe Reles, from a street punk, to a killer, to a stool pigeon. His alleged flight attempt landed him flat on his back; squashed like a fly dive-bombing into a speeding car’s windshield. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Joe Bruno takes another look at the New York criminal underworld and one of its most fascinating figures in his latest book, "Abe 'Kid Twist' Reles - The Fink Who Took Down Murder Inc." As has been the case with each of Bruno's books that I've read, he's taken an interesting subject, conducted exhaustive research, and told his story using some rather colorful slang that may catch readers by surprise.Reles was a New York gangster of the 1930s who was one of the hired guns of Murder Inc., the enforcement arm of the Commission that controlled organized crime in New York at the time. Murder Inc. (as it was called by the press and public) turned what often had been haphazardly organized mob hits into a highly organized business under the leadership of Louis "Lepke" Buchalter. Reles was a vicious killer who ran his own rackets in Brooklyn but was also on Lepke's payroll. When the police finally caught Reles, he turned state's evidence, and his testimony was instrumental in helping to convict Lepke, who became the first mob boss to die in the electric chair. Reles' moment of glory was short lived however as he fell, jumped, or almost certainly was thrown to his death out a window in the hotel in which he was being held. Reles' notoriety with the public was enhanced a few years later when Peter Falk had perhaps his best film role portraying Reles in a movie that was also called "Murder Inc."Bruno takes a comprehensive look at Reles' career from his less well known early days seizing control of his piece of turf in Brooklyn to the far better known events surrounding his testimony against Lepke and other mob figures.
