Editorial reviews

With the vague childhood memory that his grandfather was murdered, author Rick Porrello delves deep into his family’s history and the world of organized crime. Porrello’s The Rise and Fall of the Cleveland Mafia is a fascinating and thorough look at one of the most notorious crime families in America. At the height of their power, led by the likes of Angelo "Big Ange" Lonardo, the Cleveland Mafia was third in power after New York City and Chicago. Performed here with an intense energy by Keith Spillett, this audiobook provides a fascinating glimpse at the once-mighty Cleveland branch of the Sicilian-American Mafia.

Growing up in the 70’s and personally knowing people in this book it was so interesting. I remember all the news and camera people constantly coming around my friends. (Kids of the main guys) It was so crazy. I remember hanging out at lil Ang’s now lockkeepers restaurant while the men would have meetings and we would be up stairs hanging out. Crazy times.

Great book!

Raised on the west coast with no family from Ohio I had no knowledge of the Cleveland mafia. Well written history of the Cleveland crime scene. Interesting story of all the families and the push for control.
