Does anyone bring the Momo/JFK/Monroe trio together? Any
hardboiled tale bring in the Irish Mob as well? I'd be
interested in reading a hardboiled series that brings all the
common elements together such as Sherlock Holmes would
...
Starts with Daddy Kennedy's bootlegging days with the Irish
mob and then moves to JFK getting elected with help of
Daddy's mob connections in Chicago, West Virginia and
elsewhere ... Frank Sinatra introducing the Italian mob to
the party. JFK is elected and appoints his brother Bobby to
be the Attorney General with Bobby (and maybe even JFK) not
knowing of their connections to the mafia as well as the debt
JFK owes them. Bobby starts to investigate and put pressure
on the mafia, killing him would be too obvious at this point
so they arrange for JFK to be assassinated by Irish mob
members within the Boston FBI ranks. Unknown to them budding
Communist Lee Harvey Oswald also plans to assassinate JFK in
a wild-ass coincidence that can only happen in real life ...
thinking fast the mob hires Jack Ruby a local strip club
owner with tenuous ties to the mob is called in to silence
Lee before a clear picture of his role can be obtained.
Marilyn Monroe knows enough to put things together or
actually knows of the mobs plans and thus a year prior she's
assassinated to eliminate her revealing the plot. Next JFK is
assassinated. This would have ended it, but Bobby's run for
the Presidency is looking good and the mob fears that either
he will reopen the JFK investigation and/or renew his crusade
against organized crime so once more the Irish FBI mobsters
assassinate 'im. Then 7 years later after being released from
prison by Nixon in 1971 and prevented from regaining his
power until 1980, Jimmy Hoffa tries to play his trump card
with Detroit mobsters: Anthony Giacalone and Anthony
Provenzano having been a messenger boy in the planning of the
JFK assassination in order to regain his position and is
silenced forever.
... yeah, someone should write that. A good hardboiled PI
could flesh it all out. Maybe he begins the investigation as
a young DA or Homicide Detective becomes disillusioned with
the cover-up, becomes a PI, and keeps gathering the evidence
over the years.
