From the time "Joe Fish" Luparelli stabbed his first victim at 13 and scrambled up the ladder to become chaueffeur-bodyguard to Joseph Yacovelli, consigliere to the Colombo crime "family, " he never looked back. A bloody trail of fractured skulls, snapped arms and legs, and mutilated bodies lay in his wake. But when he failed to kill mobster Joe Gallo, they asked him to kill his wife: she knew too much.
