In this blistering street-level account, "Mafia survivor" Frank DiMatteo teams up with true-crime master Michael Benson to take down one of the most notorious figures in the American La Cosa Nostra. This is the real inside story of Carmine "The Snake" Persico, from his crime-filled childhood on the streets of Brooklyn to the long-term jail sentences that didn't stop him from controlling his criminal empire, with the help of his brother - the equally kill-crazy Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico.

This is the story of his deadly teen years as leader of the fearsome Garfield Boys; his recruitment into the Profaci - later the Colombo - crime family; his bloody betrayal of the Gallo brothers; his role in the hair-raising ambush and slaying of Albert Anastasia - the Lord High Executioner of Murder, Inc. - as he sat in a barbershop chair getting a shave; the terror he struck into the hearts of the New York Mafia's other families, and even his own crews; and the many courtroom trials where Persico walked after witnesses came down with sudden cases of "amnesia."

Today, Persico schmoozes with Ponzi king Bernard Madoff behind bars. There, at age 84, his legend - packed as it is with coldblooded brutality - continues to inspire goodfellas everywhere.

Book was good. Interesting story about the life of a well known (?) mob boss. Starts out in Brooklyn NY in the early 1950’s, so was very nostalgic for me on a personal level. Johnny Heller does a fantastic job with the narration!

My one major criticism is the constant introduction of new names and people, which became very difficult and frustrating for me to follow. Reading the book after listening will probably help with this!

Anyway, overall, a decent book for those who enjoy true stories about Organized Crime dating back to the mid-20th century.

Interesting…

Fans of the Mafia genre will enjoy this book. More serious Mafia buffs may have problems with it.
This was a good listen. The reader was very good. It’s a good story but there are glaring mistakes that deterred from my overall confidence in the story. The biggest error was saying Albert Anastasia was behind the attempt on Frank Costello.
That being said it was a good overview of Carmine Persico’s life in The Life. It was well written and an easy listen.

This was an interesting account of the Persico family and their life in the mob. The drama and carnage is astounding. The relationships, friendships, vendettas, court cases and more can be overwhelming, I had to listen to several sections a few times to keep everyone straight. Real life is stranger than fiction. An interesting book and a great audiobook, perfectly narrated by Johnny Heller.

This is the most realistic, up close and personal book on the New York crime families I’ve read. The murders are disturbingly detailed and it sure sounds like the truth.

The best crime book I’ve ever read

I have read many True Crime books about the Mafia, and without a doubt this book hit all the points. As a teen, I hung out in Red Hook, and South Brooklyn. I heard the stories of the neighborhood legends. Junior Persico was without a doubt the "True Shotcaller". Bigger than "Gotti", more ruthless than the " The Chin". Junior and his Family was a True Mafia Dynasty.
