The book commences with a startling premise: What if a private investigator had been hired to trail Hoffa in that summer of 1975 and saw him get in a car with three other men, all of whom the investigator knew from his prior experience with the FBI? Would that investigator report what he knew to the FBI when he later learned Hoffa had been abducted - knowing the Mafia's practice of eliminating witnesses to its crimes? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSam Silver, the former FBI special agent, is that investigator.
