The Old Headquarters of Murder, Inc. - Atlas Obscura The Old Headquarters of Murder, Inc. - Atlas Obscura

Luciano was appalled by the 1930 – 1931 Castellamarese War, and the way it drew attention to and disrupted mafia business. He eventually made a deal with Maranzano, then had Masseria killed. Five months later, Luciano had Maranzano killed as well, after which he established The Commission to regulate the American mob, and avert similar bloodshed. Stretching from Darjeeling, India, to Dartmoor, England, the latest romantic saga from a popular British novelist confidently blends multiple storylines, large helpings of tragedy, a fairy-tale villain and some startling plot twists. Before Murder Inc., chaos had ruled the Italian-American mafia. In the early 20th century, there had been little to distinguish Italian-American gangs – concentrated mostly in the northeast – from other ethnic gangs. That changed almost overnight, with the arrival of Prohibition in 1920. Notwithstanding Prohibition’s ban on the sale of alcohol, Public demand for alcohol remained high. Since that demand could no longer be satisfied legally, criminals stepped in to satisfy it illegally.When Murder Inc. began unraveling after hitman Abe Reles turned state’s evidence, it seemed that Anastasia was finally done for. Reles was scheduled to offer evidence against Anastasia, but early on the morning of that day, he fell to his death from a 6th floor window. “Fell” was the official explanation, and as police explained it, Reles had been trying to lower himself out the window via an improvised rope made of tied bed sheets. However, he had shown no inclination to escape, and ever since snitching on the mob, had been deathly afraid to be out of police sight. With Reles out of the way, Anastasia escaped prosecution for his Murder Inc. misdeeds. Over 60 mobsters had been killed, and the violence had damaged the interests of the mafia throughout the US. On the surface, it had been a power struggle between Masseria and Maranzano. However, beneath the surface was a struggle of their younger subordinates, who grew up American, against the rival bosses and their entire generation of leadership, derided as “Mustache Petes”. The American born mobsters viewed the “Mustache Petes” as narrow minded and set in their Old Country ways, and incapable of adapting to American realities. Ninety years later, Rebecca Bradley, a young American film star, has the world at her feet. But when her turbulent relationship with her equally famous boyfriend takes an unexpected turn, she's relieved that her latest role, playing a 1920s debutante, will take her away from the glare of publicity to a distant corner of the English countryside. Shortly after filming begins at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall, Ari Malik, Anahita's great-grandson, arrives unexpectedly, on a quest for his family's past. What he and Rebecca discover begins to unravel the dark secrets that haunt the Astbury dynasty . . .
