From the time he took a blood oath that bound him body and soul to New York's Colombo crime family, Franzese became a force to be reckoned with in organized crime. Named one of the biggest moneymakers in the mob since Al Capone by VANITY FAIR, he quickly crept into the upper echelon of Mafia authority... Then, defying common sense and the covenant that bound him to the Colombo family, Michael did the unthinkable. He quit the mob... Today, Michael Franzese is a new man using his past experiences as a powerful tool for helping those who may be vulnerable to the same pitfalls he faced... Now, in one of the most fascinating books ever written about today's Mafia, Michael Franzese reveals the answers to the many mysteries surrounding his incredible life. Walk the streets with him and find out how and why he has done what no one else managed to do -- and live. Journey with him through a life defined by two blood covenants... The first bound him to the mob. The second set him free." . INSCRIBED/SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket.
