معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
“If your Sopranos addiction shows no signs of abating,” the life and crimes of a mob boss from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Night Stalker (Los Angeles Times).
The boss of New York’s infamous Lucchese crime family, Anthony “Gaspipe” Casso’s life in the Mafia was preordained from birth. His rare talent for “earning”—concocting ingenious schemes to hijack trucks, rob banks, and bring vast quantities of drugs into New York—fueled his unstoppable rise up the ladder of organized crime. A mafioso responsible for at least fifty murders, Casso lived large, with a beautiful wife and money to burn. When the law finally caught up with him in 1994, Casso became the thing he hated most—an informer.
From his blood feud with John Gotti to his dealings with the “Mafia cops,” decorated NYPD officers Lou Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, to the Windows case, which marked the beginning of the end for the New York Mob, Gaspipe is Anthony Casso’s shocking story—a roller-coaster ride into an exclusive netherworld that reveals the true inner workings of the Mafia, from its inception to the present time.
“Filled with never-known-before details . . . a very compelling true-crime tale.” —CNN
“Readers interested in the inner workings of the Mafia will love this chilling look at a Mob boss.” —Booklist (starred review)
“I couldn’t put the book down . . . Truly amazing.” —San Jose Mercury News
“The inside information about the lifestyle, rituals, killings, and betrayals is priceless. An authoritative look at a once-rampant predator now at bay.” —Kirkus Reviews

نبذة عن المؤلف
Philip Carlo was born and raised on the mean streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn—the same streets Tommy Pitera hailed from. There, Carlo earned a Ph.D. in street smarts, and he escaped a life of crime by writing about it with unusual insight. He is the author of the bestsellers The Night Stalker, about notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez, and The Ice Man, about infamous Mafia contract killer Richard Kuklinski. Carlo lives with his wife, Laura, in New York City.
