Charley "Lucky" Luciano was instrumental to the development of the American Mafia and supervised the attempt to dominate prostitution in New York City. Not surprisingly, he has been the subject of numerous biographies, exposes, and various works of urban folklore since his death in 1962. This book takes scholarship on Luciano to a new level, using fresh research on the investigation, arrest, and conviction of Lucky Luciano to delve deep into the sexual and criminal underworld of New York City. Topics include the complex structure of the New York City bordellos and the takeover that resulted in Luciano's 1936 arrest; his considerable role in the expansion of the international heroin trade; and the shocking attempt to sexually frame a member of prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey's staff in a desperate bid to overturn Luciano's conviction.

“[A] fascinating new book about mafia boss Alfonso D’Arco, who became the federal government’s most successful cooperator.” —The Village Voice Alfonso “Little Al” D’Arco, the former acting boss of the Luchese organized crime family, was the highest-ranking mobster to ever turn government witness when he flipped in 1991. His decision to flip prompted many others to make the same choice, including John Gotti’s top aide, Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, and his testimony sent more than fifty mobsters to prison. In Mob Boss, award-winning news reporters Jerry Capeci and Tom Robbins team up for this unparalleled account of D’Arco’s life and the New York mob scene that he embraced for four decades. Until the day he switched sides, D’Arco lived and breathed the old-school gangster lessons he learned growing up in Brooklyn and fine-tuned on the mean streets of Little Italy. But when he learned he was marked to be whacked, D’Arco quit the mob. His defection decimated his crime family and opened a window on mob secrets going back a hundred years. After speaking with D’Arco, the authors reveal unprecedented insights, exposing shocking secrets and troublesome truths about a city where a famous pizza parlor doubled as a Mafia center for multi-million-dollar heroin deals, where hit men carried out murders dressed as women, and where kidnapping a celebrity newsman’s son was deemed appropriate revenge for the father’s satirical novel. Capeci and Robbins spent hundreds of hours in conversation with D’Arco, and exhausted many hours more fleshing out his stories in this riveting narrative that takes readers behind the famous witness testimony for a comprehensive look at the Mafia in New York City.

"Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience-this was the 'glue' that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses," Joseph Bonnano, lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonnano found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only twenty-six, Bonnano became a Don. He would eventually take over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellammarese War," one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City... Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno-likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather-takes readers inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families-Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese-and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.

We're not here to take part, we're here to take over… Prequel - The Takeover Brad Miller has carved up dozens of companies in his meteoric rise to the top. Retro is just another company headed by a stubborn owner who doesn't want to let go. But Brad has him by the balls, and he knows it. The only play he has left is his daughter, the beautiful and talented Alyssa Pierce. Her father adds a stipulation at the last minute that Brad must keep Alyssa on as COO. What Mr. Pierce didn't foresee was the magnetic attraction between the two and how neither Brad nor Alyssa can keep their hands to themselves. Brad storms down the hallway to have a word with his new partner, only to find her waiting for him. When he shuts the door, the heat begins to rise. All his negotiating skills go out the window, leaving Brad with a decision to make. Will he allow Alyssa into his heart or force her back to the bargaining table? Book 1 - Love Notes I stood in the elevator, all my things in a cardboard box. Surrounding me, nearly every other employee clutched their own belongings, all of us let go on the same day. The nerve of that man! After taking over as CEO, Brad Miller kicked us all out. I would never forgive him for that. Just three months later, there was a job posting for his assistant, and I seized the chance to win my way back into the company. I was going to make him sorry he ever bought the tech design firm. Behind the scenes, I would do whatever it took to right his horrific wrong and welcome all my friends back to their old jobs. However, I wasn't counting on his alarming good looks, or the way he made me feel whenever he walked by. When he had me book a luxury business trip to Paris, I nearly forgot all about sabotaging him. That is until he made it very clear that he was looking for more than just an assistant. Book 2 - Fine Print Nothing in fine print is ever good news… The question of the missing money haunted me. Brad Miller, CEO and owner of the Retro art design and technology company, had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from his former employees. Or had he? I didn't know, and the lingering doubts made it difficult to work alongside him. Sexy and intelligent, he was as dedicated in the bedroom as he was in the boardroom. I should know; I gave into temptation one night on a business trip. I found myself falling for him, trusting him with all my heart even though my rational mind warned me to stop. What if he really did steal all that money? Did I even want to know, or was that something best kept secret?
