A True Story of Survival, Betrayal, and Redemption in the Heart of New York's Underworld. In the first book story, Making My Bones with the Mafia.
Gino Leno was never just another guy from Glendale. He was a survivor, a man who took two bullets and lived to tell the tale. In the gritty streets of 1980s New York, where loyalty was scarce and betrayal was a heartbeat away, Gino navigated the treacherous world of organized crime with a code of his own.

After a near-fatal shooting, Gino steps away from the life, seeking solace in honest work alongside his brother Vincenzo at Valeria Excavation, a union-backed city construction company. But the shadows of Howard Beach, teeming with figures like Gotti, Massino, and Amuso, are hard to escape. The allure of the old life beckons, and Gino finds himself drawn back into the game, not out of desire, but necessity.

As he reopens his underground poker games, Gino makes a silent vow: no more Mafia entanglements. Yet, when Massino slashes his poker cut and old allies turn into adversaries, Gino realizes that in this world, the only way out is through. With calculated moves and unwavering resolve, he begins to plot his path, not just to survive, but to reclaim his power and rewrite the rules of the game.

The 80s New Mobsters NYC is a raw, unfiltered memoir that delves deep into the heart of New York's criminal underbelly. Giacomo Amato, a real-life Mafia associate, offers an insider's perspective on the codes, the chaos, and the choices that define a life in the mob. This isn't a tale of glamorized crime; it's a story of grit, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of one's own destiny.
