I saw someone mention Jimmy Fratianno's book. My mother's first cousin was listed as one of Tony Spilotro's kills (holes in the desert) but they got the wrong name. They used Aldo Caldarazzo, but it was his brother, Gasper (Gazut).
I write New York based mob novels myself. The new one is called Johnny Porno and will be available in April, 2010.
My favorite mob novel remains The Godfather. My favorite non-fiction crime book remains Wiseguy (Goofellas).
My other mob-related movie is The Gambler (James Caan/Paul Sorvino--brilliant).
Johnny Porno is book #7 for me; several characters cross some of the books.
Let me know if I'm off base pushing my stuff here. I apologize if I am.
wow Charlie, thats really cool man, i didnt know that you were a writer.
my favorite fiction book is "The Untold Legend of The Batman". my favorite non-fiction mob books are "We Only Kill Each Other", and "Donnie Brasco". hey Charlie, do you like comic books?
