INVISIBLE The Forgotten Story of the Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster

This is a listen you'd be forgiven for thinking is a work of fiction. As narrated by Karen Chilton, the real-life story of Manhattan District Attorney Eunice Carter is remarkable--both in its telling and in its history. Carter was an activist, an attorney, and one of the most notable women of her time, a time when few women worked outside the home, let alone became professionals. Perhaps most remarkable of all is that Carter was African-American (and the grandmother of the book's author). Knowing all of this, it may not be surprising that her role in taking down the most notorious mobster of the 1930s, "Lucky" Luciano, is not a well-known story. But listening to Chilton's narration, you'll be enthralled with the author's research and his grandmother's amazing life. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2018]
