Joey the Hitman was my first book, followed by Wiseguy (Goodfellas) in the same week. I was hooked after that.

My first fictional mob book was the Godfather.



You shit-kicking, stinky, horse-manure-smelling motherfucker you! If you ever get out of line over there again, I'll smash your fucking head so hard you won't be able to get that cowboy hat on. You hear me? Fucking hick. -Nicky (Casino)
