The 1970s/ 80s harlem purple gang book " hitmen ". Is coming out soon (uk).
15th June ( couple of stores have it down as 15th May).
Pre order price is £28- 36. ( non amazon) so I'll wait until it's released and see if its cheaper. Also check reviews by then. Hope its got more pages than Deitche 's new Jersey book, which is bit skimpy. ( haven't read it yet).

Also, whilst checking i saw( and bought) that Petepiece has a Lucchese book out to add to the colombo and Bonanno ones. There not great but okay for skimming through, now and then. No photos, which is serious letdown. Cheapish and great for those new to the genre. ( also has a book on the commission, which I'll only buy for my collection if it's dirt cheap. I mean, how can you write a whole book about the commission? There's very little that is known.

*** forgot to say that the Sinatra Club book about a colombo/ gotti associate is more than decent. Jimmy Burke crew feature heavily.
