The Black Hand

*The Black Hand* uncovers the true story of Rene Enriquez, known as "Boxer," a high-ranking member of the Mexican Mafia (La Eme). Award-winning investigative journalist Chris Blatchford, with Enriquez's unprecedented cooperation, exposes the inner workings, secret meetings, and brutal expansion of this powerful criminal organization. Controlling organized crime in California and extending its reach nationwide, La Eme commands an estimated 60,000 loyal gang members. Enriquez, who dedicated two decades to the group, provides a raw, insider's account of its violence, betrayal, and his ultimate disillusionment. Based on years of research, this book offers a definitive, never-before-told look at one of America's most dangerous criminal enterprises.
