"I met Danny Suster almost fifty years ago when he was a valuable informant for my investigations into waste and mismanagement in City government, but lost touch with him after a couple of years.
CHASING THE MONGOOSE fills in the five-decade gap before we were back in touch, and tells an amazing story of this idealistic, vulnerable, intelligent and articulate Jewish drug dealer and his rehabilitation."
