Black Hand coverFox 11 crime reporter Chris Blatchford is out with "The Black Hand," which Dominick Dunne calls in a blurb, "A gripping, powerful, chilling inside look at a criminal organization that is changing the organized crime landscape. This is a mob classic." That organization is the Mexican Mafia, with the story told mainly through Rene "Boxer" Enriquez. The blogger at Streetgangs.com posts that Blatchford "has reported on gangs in Los Angeles longer than anyone in the business....He continues to be one of the main journalistic voices on the topic." District Attorney Steve Cooley also provided a blurb to publisher Harper-Collins: "Must read for police, prosecutors, and politicians."

Blatchford has nine Emmy Awards, ten Golden Mikes, two Edward R. Murrow Awards and a Peabody to his name. So I offer this impression with the utmost respect: Chris ........ Blatchford ........
