THE HOODS TAKE OVERAlan Avery is out one evening picking up medicine for his pregnant wife’s migraine when he witnesses a brutal murder. Two thugs cut a guy’s throat, then throw his body into their trunk and drive away. When he reports to the police exactly what he has seen, the cops are surprised to find someone who will actually stand up to the hoods in town. His wife fears the worst, but Alan sticks by his testimony. So when Ricca and Doto are arrested and fingered by Alan, crime boss Marty Kahn springs into action, eventually getting them freed. Now the gangsters are making their own plans—and dealing with Alan is the number one priority on their list.

About the Author:
Ovid Demaris (given name Ovide E. Desmarais) was born September 6, 1919 in Biddeford, Maine. After serving in the U.S. Army Air Forces, he graduated from College of Idaho in 1948 and Boston University in 1950. He then became a United Press correspondent and newspaper reporter, before turning to writing books, both fiction and non-fiction, most of them featuring organized crime. Demaris is best known as the co-author of The Green Felt Jungle, an expose of the Mafia in Las Vegas, and The Last Mafioso, his biography of Jimmy Fratianno. Two of his novels were turned into films, including The Hoods Take Over. Demaris passed away on March 12, 1998, also in Biddeford, Maine.
Review:
"Whoever said crime doesn't pay has never spoken to Ovid Demaris."--New York Times
"I certainly recommend the novels, especially the ones from Gold Medal."--Bill Crider, Pop Culture Magazine
"Demaris knows his stuff."--Publishers Weekly
