This was 25 years ago and from that time Petrosino was known as the brains of the Italian souad at police headquarters. He had more convic- tions for murder to his credit than any five other headquarters detectives PetroSino knew every Italian dialect and could easily tell from what part of Italy any of her immigrants came.
