About Murder
Product Description 2015 Hollywood Book Festival Winner for "Non-Fiction"Nothing like it before. Nothing like it since. Murder Inc. was the most unusual, brutal and extensive collection of characters the American underworld had ever produced. Culled primarily from Brooklyn's Brownsville and Ocean Hill sections, these official on-call killers of New York's larger crime Syndicate were a unified force of Jewish and Italian gangsters that treated murder as an art form for an entire decade. They were called mobsters, thugs, hoods and racketeers, but at the very core... they were assassins. When gangland kingpins, such as Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, needed a contract fulfilled - the "Combination" boys would eagerly take to task the enforcement duties, which included methods ranging from gunfire to fire axes, incineration to icepicks. These are the mysteries, the sordid stories, the character profiles, alluring and lesser known tales of the Mob's Most Deadly Hit Squad. Meet the killers, the victims, the bosses, the lovers, the deceivers and the gangbusters that made up a nationally-reaching ensemble cast rivaling anything organized crime or law enforcement had ever imagined to that point in time. Discover the nuances, the attitudes, the motivations, the ambitions and, thanks to little honor among thieves, the scathing revelations that lead to an inevitable downfall. Review "Christian Cipollini has become an authority on the dark, criminal underworld that thrives in the shadows of the cities in the United States. His understanding of how that side of society "works" is unrivaled and his writings show that quite clearly. Having battled violent crime in big city streets for nearly 30 years, I can say with authority that Christian tells the story right. His works are a must read for anyone who wants to see the dark side of our culture." - P ete Forcelli Former NYPD, Bronx Homicide Task Force "Wow! Now you've got my attention! What Christian Grey is to all things erotica, Christian Cipollini is to all things mafia-, both are trending game changers in their literary arenas. " - MayCay Beeler, Author, Buccaneer- The Provocative Odyssey of Jack Reed "Christian Cipollini tackles the subject of Murder Inc. in his new gangland mystery. Take a journey back in mob history with this talented writer as he explores the legend of the Mafia's most deadly hit squad. A must read for Mafia enthusiasts." -- Seth Ferranti, author of The Dope Game Misadventures of Fat Cat and Pappy Mason "Must Read author. Sick! He's becoming responsible for my newest addiction...Mobsters & Crime " - Tera Patrick, author of Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love and Porn "His book is about the Mafia as an organization, but on a whole other, more intimate, level it is about the men and women which made this mechanism tick." - Online Book Club From the Author To write a book about Murder Inc. is, in and of itself, a dynamically difficult proposition. Burton Turkus - the man who basically did all the hard work to bring Murder Inc. down - truly put the story into an epic with his book. So, when I was asked to again take part in the "Gangland Mysteries" series of books - I considered why and how to do a take on the infamous killers-for-hire saga. Solution? Short, salacious, and as many of the 'side stories' I could pack into it. Do not reinvent the wheel, that was issue number one. Instead, cull from the wonderful books already written on the group, research books centered on individual members, but then - find needles in the haystacks relating to the "what ever happened to?" questions and of course really delve into some of the more incredibly bizarre individuals and situations, but still address the 'whole' story as an overview, short history lesson. Literally hundreds of rare newspaper articles and lengthy court transcriptions proved to be a wealth of ganglan
