In 1965, Michael Corbitt joined the William Springs Police Department (Illinois). As he rose through the ranks of the department and ultimately became the chief of
police (1973-1981), he would also rise through the ranks of the mob. Corbitt
left Willow Springs in 1981 to work as an investigator for the Cook County Sheriff’s Department. While a sheriff’s investigator he was also acted as a bodyguard, courier and driver mob crime boss,
Sam “Momo” Giancana. In 1989, Corbitt, along with two others, was
convicted of murdering the wife of a “mob” attorney. While in prison,
a hit directed toward Corbitt motivated him to become an FBI attorney. Once paroled
in 1998, he teamed up with his former mob boss’s nephew Sam Giancana and wrote "Double Deal: The Inside Story of Murder,
Unbridled Corruption and the Cop Who Was a Mobster."
