Love or Honour. The True Story of an Undercover Policeman Who Fell in Love with the Mafia Boss's Daughter.

London England: Piatkus, 1989. This book is the true and fascinating story of a New York policeman - Chris Anastos - who had to infiltrate a Greek neighbourhood to determine whether there was a link between the Greek and Italian underworlds. As a member of the New York City Police Department Intelligence Division he began uncovering mop corruption, illegal gambling clubs and drug dens in the city. As Chris the cop, he had a wife and in-laws, nieces and nephews, bills to pay, and an apartment in a residential neighbourhood....Working undercover, Chris fitted in well with the Greeks and Italians. For nearly five years, he was accepted by them because he was believable. He took on the dress and mannerisms, the language and the gestures, the way of walking and talking and scheming. He took part in deals, was included in meetings and entered the world of a Long Island Mafia boss. He became the person he pretended to be. Then he fell in love with the mafia boss's daughter. Chris Anastos thought that because he was two different people in two different worlds he could love two different women for different reasons. But he soon found it was not as simple as that and he was faced with a devastating choice. Love or Honour tells an extraordinary story. How this undercover cop dealt with his bizarre double life makes a superb and compelling read.
