About this listen

Giovanni's Ring is the story of "Giovanni Rocco," a New Jersey police officer, known undercover as "Giovanni Gatto," who was the mysterious agent at the epicenter of Operation Charlie Horse, a federal undercover operation that ultimately brought down ten members and associates of New Jersey's DeCavalcante Mafia family, the criminal organization known as "the real Sopranos."

Giovanni spent nearly three years working his way into the DeCavalcante hierarchy. That lethal assignment brought the undercover operation to an end in March 2015, and the resulting string of high-profile arrests eviscerated the criminal organization.

Giovanni's Ring is not simply a chronicle of Giovanni Rocco's adventures in the murky and dangerous Mafia world he inhabited, but also a fascinating window into the psychological struggles that such a life inevitably entails.

Worst mob book that I've ever heard. The author just moans about the strain that his job puts on his life, how it endangers his family, how stressful his undercover work in the mob is for him, how it affects his relationships, how it affects him, how it puts a strain on him. Sorry, I think I am repeating myself, moaning in different ways about the same thing. That's what this book is. Don't be fooled into thinking that you're going to be transported to the world of the real Sopranos. Or anything like it. Even Joe Barrett's narration can't save it. Joe starts to sound as bored as I was.
