Summary

A sworn member of the Colombo crime family in New York City, Michael Franzese was considered the biggest moneymaker in the mob since Al Capone. At age 35, he was number 18 on Fortune magazine's list of the 50 most wealthy and powerful Mafia bosses in America. But then he did the unthinkable. He quit the mob.

Franzese met Camille Garcia, who turned his world upside down with her innocent beauty. He fell in love with her, married her, and began a new life that didn't include the Mafia.

Nobody of Franzese's rank ever just walked away from the mob and lived to tell about it. But Franzese has somehow managed to avoid the grave after he turned his back on the past. But what made him leave the lavish lifestyle of the Mafia? And how has he escaped what should have been sure death after he quit the mob?

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.

Half Told Story

Struggled to understand how his wife led him to Christianity. She dated and married him knowing he had an inexplicably vast income and lifestyle that couldn't be easily explained from honest means. He even records that his wife's brother delivered bags of cash for him as part of an illegal activity.

As told, you can nearly forget that the author was a mafia mobster - so good is the author at presenting himself in a flattering light.

Not sure we're being told the full story.

Interesting story

Interesting story of redemption and how Mafia corrupts even the closest people to you. Very well read by the original author. If you like La Cosa Nostra stories you should give this one a try.

Fascinating Story ,

fascinating read , even more interesting in that the author narrates the story.
acknowledges mistakes and gives a seemingly honest account.
