About this book

The New York Times bestseller, now a major documentary film: "A page-turner. You start out laughing and end up pounding the table for reform." —Tom Curley, CEO, Associated Press
It's not a joke. New Jersey leads the country in corruption
The Soprano State details the you-couldn't-make-this-up true story of the corruption that has pervaded New Jersey politics, government, and business for the past thirty years. From Jimmy Hoffa purportedly being buried somewhere beneath the end zone in Giants Stadium, through allegations of a thoroughly corrupt medical and dental university, through Mafia influence at all levels, the Garden State might indeed be better named after the HBO mobsters.
Where else would:

A state attorney general show up after police pulled over her boyfriend who was driving without a valid license?
A state senator and mayor of Newark (the same guy) spend thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money on a junket to Rio days before leaving office?
A politically connected developer hire a prostitute to tape sex acts with his own brother-in-law and then send the tape to his sister?

Only in the Soprano State.
"As the writers say, 'You can't make this stuff up.'" — Asbury Park Press
"Their nonfiction tale reads like a pay-per-view epic, hence the Tony title." — Athens Banner-Herald (Georgia)
"A pair of seasoned investigative reporters catalogue New Jersey's epic political dishonesty. Ingle and McClure . . . nail the backroom intrigues in impressive scope and detail." ? Kirkus Reviews
"I was amazed by Ingle and McClure's hilarious story about our state's achievement. Read it and laugh—or cry." —Marvin Kitman, media pathologist, HuffingtonPost.com
