A grand night talking about making a true crime book, MAFIA SPIES, into a brand-new TV show now on Paramount and Showtime. From bestselling author and the producer of the hit cable series Masters of Sex, Thomas Maier, comes this true story of espionage and mobsters, based on the never-before-released JFK Files. This six-part Paramount docuseries Mafia Spies is the definitive account of America’s most remarkable espionage plots ever—with CIA agents, mob hitmen, “kompromat” sex, Sinatra's Rat Pack in Vegas, presidential indiscretion, and James Bond-like killing devices together in a top-secret mystery full of surprise twists and deadly intrigue. In the early 1960s, two top gangsters, Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana, were hired by the CIA to K*ll Cuba’s Communist leader, Fidel Castro, only to wind up murdered themselves amidst Congressional hearings and a national debate about the JFK assassination.
