About this title

Review:

"Forget about it! This is the best gangster book ever written."

Synopsis:

The Scarfo mob was one of the most powerful crime dynasties in America - a Philadelphia family of hoods and hitmen feared by criminals from Baonnano to Luchesi, and driven by a violent code of honour. It took a man named Nicholas Caramandi, an ex-Scarfo killer turned government informant, to bring down the notorious empire. Based on hundreds of hours of taped interviews with Caramandi, whose testimony at 11 racketeering and murder trials resulted in 52 convictions, this is an account of organized crime in America.
