About this listen

 Welcome to Cryptic Chronicles. Today I am joined by legendary author Jonathan Dyer (links below). In this episode, we’re stepping into the violent, shadowy world of Gregory Scarpa Sr.—the Colombo family enforcer known as The Grim Reaper. Scarpa was a man who lived a double life: a ruthless Mafia killer who also served as a longtime FBI informant, blurring the line between crime and justice for nearly three decades. To help unravel this paradox, I’m joined by Jonathan Dyer, author of the new book Greg Scarpa: Legendary Evil, which dives deep into the chilling story of one of organized crime’s most dangerous figures and the corruption that shielded him.
