Mafia Men: Hoodwinkers, suckers and scams

by Gordon Kerr

Joe Colucci didn't feel much when Sammy Gravano put the gun to the back of Colucci's head and pulled the trigger. Neither did Gravano. He saw a flash as Colucci's head jerked and blood poured out. Colucci was well and truly dead. It was 1970 and Gravano had carried out the first of nineteen Mafia hits he would be involved in. Read how Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano dismantled the infamous Gambino Family along with the inside stories of the exploits of many other Mafia hood winkers, double-dealers and two-timers. Contents: Edward J O'Hare, Antonio Giuffré, Abe 'Kid Twist' Reles, Jesse Stoneking, Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano

Waste of time and money

It's like reading newspaper clippings, no meat in any of the 'chapters' . Extremely disappointing. The crime is that it was released as a book!!

It was a good pass-time read. As is the case with other books from the series, the book contains short biographies of criminals, sharing the same trait. This time it is mafioso, who turned to snitches.
