PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
LOUIS FERRANTE led a professional heist crew within the Gambino crime family and served nearly a decade in America's worst prisons after refusing to inform on his former associates. While in prison, he educated himself and studied law, science and history, ultimately becoming a writer. His last book, Mob Rules, was an international bestseller translated into twenty languages, and his Discovery Channel series, Inside the Gangsters' Code, earned him a Grierson Award nomination for Presenter of the Year.
Highly entertaining * Wall Street Journal * A fascinating inside look at the history of the Mafia . . . Ferrante's familiarity with Mafia customs gives flesh and immediacy to what could otherwise be a rote historical tome, but he doesn't draw his authority from affiliation alone: this is a well-researched history in its own right. True crime fans will be captivated * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY * It's very rare when someone from Lou's world has the heart of a writer. Criminal experiences don't usually lead to great insights. Louis Ferrante is different - his talent for storytelling shines through -- Nicholas Pileggi, author of WISE GUY and CASINO Building his case in concise, economical prose, Ferrante draws on an extensive knowledge of world events, mob lore and personal experience . . . a rousing memoir, meditation on world history and Mafia exposé all in one * Kirkus Reviews on MOB RULES * Being inside Ferrante's mind is an amazing experience -- Joel Stein * TIME *
