You mean the Hammer Commission? If so Dom go on Amazon.com

Book Description
Publication Date: April 16, 2013
Mark's job seems pretty dull, working as an investigator into crimes committed against Church property, theft of holy objects, vandalism; nothing terribly exciting but he does get to travel the world.

That's just the window dressing. Mark does work for the Church, but as an elite member of a thousand year old secret society that hunts down devils, demons, and other evils. His job is not just to find them, but to remove, dispel, or kill them: he's on the front lines of the secret ongoing war between Heaven and Hell. However as wars go, it has been a fairly easy one for the last few decades, with nothing seriously evil having been summoned since the last world war.

But all of that is about to change, and the question for Mark may not be can he survive, but can he survive long enough.

I think he means the book about the Rochester mafia, about the murder of "The Hammer" Massaro, that one is indeed hard to find for a reasonable price.

It appears to be written in 1993: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Ties-Gigante-Brothers-American/dp/0060165944

I sent him a E-mail to see if i could get a copy or a pdf and he replied back, Sorry the book was never published.

Last one I read was American Desperado. It was an eye opener into society, as all mob books are. This particular book was almost the wildest mob book I've ever read. The only one wilder was Murder Machine with all of the irresponsible unplanned murders and hair brained money making schemes.

The First Family is an excellent read about Giuseppe Morello..

I've read My life in the Mafia.
One way or another I think Vinny was full of shit. Seems to claim he was feared and respected by everybody in the New England underworld. Claimed he was tight with Patriarca and Tameleo. I doubt he was anything like the power he makes out in the book.

Vinnie Teresa's book was a waste of time....wiseguy, underboss, boss of bosses, and mafia dynasty were some of my favorites but the definitive book IMO has gotta be the Five Families.

First mob book I ever read was Murder Machine; second was Five Families. There a few things that Raab exaggerates but for the most part it's an excellent introductory piece on the NYC families.

I thought "My Life in the Mafia" was pretty good. I take it with a grain of salt. It was written in the 70's. His true status in the mafia is unclear. Sometimes you get the sense some things might be incorrect. Also, if you look up pictures of him, you see he was enormously obese, and I don't think he mentioned that anywhere in the book.

That being said, I really enjoyed a lot of the stories. He wrote a lot about gambling junket scams that he pulled. I never heard about that before. And I haven't read many books about the Italian mob in New England, so the different characters interested me.

I just downloaded a PDF of Mob Star (Gotti) by Jerry Capeci.

As I already own Rise and Fall (Gotti) by the same author, I was wondering if there is any point in even reading this?

Does reading it still have its merits even if Rise and Fall came 8 years after?

Good question, I also wondered about that. I've read Rise and fall a long time ago-it is very good, but downloaded the updated version of Mob Star (from 2002) and never read it because of that reason.

Oldschool3 I've not read that book but I have read one by Tony the Greek. He's another Ice man. He claims to have been involved with Gotti Joe Gallo The Westies and Joe Sullivan. He claimed to have clipped half of New York and Hoffa even though he admitted to being in jail when he disappeared. So I would think his Hoffa book is another work of fiction.

Mike Dash's book is great. I wonder why it is not considered on the MUST read list. Maybe it's one of the few that people know about, who knows.

i also think "octopus" is very underrated. Those two deserve a bright spotlight above them!
