The Prince of Providence: The Rise and Fall of Buddy Cianci, America's Most Notorious Mayor | 
Anyone else obsessed with Crimetown podcast? As a companion read I highly recommend this book, which covers the same stories as the podcast but in greater detail. It's one of those nonfiction books that are stranger than fiction. I tore through it in two sittings.

Ericmanciniwriter @Michelle_mck I know! ?. When I lived in Providence I was near his old "power street" house, it looked so peaceful, hard to believe what went down in there. 7y
