Louis Ferrante is a former Mafia associate and heist expert who served eight years in prison after refusing to incriminate Gambino family members. His last book, Mob Rules, was an international bestseller, and his Discovery Channel Series, Inside the Gangsters Code, earned him a Grierson Award nomination for Presenter of the Year.
Highly entertaining
*Wall Street Journal*
He may be a loss to the criminal fraternity, he is most certainly
an asset to the literary world
*ASPECTS OF HISTORY*
A fascinating inside look at the history of the Mafia . . .
Ferrante's familiarity with Mafia customs gives flesh and immediacy
to what could otherwise be a rote historical tome, but he doesn't
draw his authority from affiliation alone: this is a
well-researched history in its own right. True crime fans will be
captivated
*PUBLISHERS WEEKLY*
It's very rare when someone from Lou's world has the heart of a
writer. Criminal experiences don't usually lead to great insights.
Louis Ferrante is different - his talent for storytelling shines
through
*Nicholas Pileggi, author of WISE GUY and CASINO*
Building his case in concise, economical prose, Ferrante draws on
an extensive knowledge of world events, mob lore and personal
experience . . . a rousing memoir, meditation on world history and
Mafia exposé all in one
*Kirkus Reviews on MOB RULES*
Being inside Ferrante's mind is an amazing experience
*TIME*
A fascinating first volume . . . smoothly written and impeccably
researched . . . a serious historical look at organized crime
written not by an academician or a journalist, but someone who
lived the life. His insights are often personal and always
informative . . . It's more complex, erudite and compelling than
anything you'll hear on a podcast
*JERSEY MAN*
How the Italian mafia went global
*NEW YORK POST*
A compelling narrative explaining the socio-economic conditions
that spawned the mafia. It will not and cannot be ignored
*former President of the International Association for the Study of
Organized Crime*
