An all-too-real version of the gang that couldn't shoot straight, about how the hit on Joey Gallo was planned, bungled and finally executed. The bloodcurdling absurdist true tale of the Gallo crime family told through the eyes of one of his soldiers, Joe Luparelli-once the most feared, hunted and hated man in the underworld. Here he tells all: how he functioned as a hitman for various Dons, and took on the contract to whack Joey Gallo. Considered an excellent inside story of events within the mafia. 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. When he refused, death contracts were put out on both of them, and Luparelli had no choice but to turn himself in to the FBI as an informer. When published, he still was alive with a new identity and was the most hunted man in the underworld. Written by a master of the underworld, Paul Meskil wrote many books of real-life high intrigue including: a rare book on Don Carlo; an excellent exposé of Nazi's living around the world in 1961, Hitler's Heirs; and an excellent tale of early underworld electronic hacking entitled Cheesebox. 308 pages.
