Download or read book Shallow Graves written by Maureen Boyle and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven women went missing over the spring and summer of 1988 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, an old fishing port known as the Whaling City, where Moby Dick, Frederick Douglass, textile mills, and heroin-dealing represent just a few of the many threads in the community's diverse fabric. In Shallow Graves, investigative reporter Maureen Boyle tells the story of a case that has haunted New England for thirty years. The Crimes: The skeletal remains of nine of the women, aged nineteen to thirty-six, were discovered near highways around New Bedford. Some had clearly been strangled, others were so badly decomposed that police were left to guess how they had died. The Victims: All the missing women had led troubled lives of drug addiction, prostitution, and domestic violence, including Nancy Paiva, whose sister was a hard-working employee of the City of New Bedford, and Debra Greenlaw DeMello, who came from a solidly middle-class family but fell into drugs and abusive relationships. In a bizarre twist, Paiva's clothes were found near DeMello's body. The Investigators: Massachusetts state troopers Maryann Dill and Jose Gonsalves were the two constants in a complex cast of city, county, and state cops and prosecutors. They knew the victims, the suspects, and the drug-and-crime-riddled streets of New Bedford. They were present at the beginning of the case and they stayed to the bitter end. The Suspects: Kenneth Ponte, a New Bedford attorney and deputy sheriff with an appetite for drugs and prostitutes, landed in the investigative crosshairs from the start. He was indicted by a grand jury in the murder of one of the victims, but those charges were later dropped. Anthony DeGrazia was a loner who appeared to fit the classic serial-killer profile: horrific childhood abuse, charming, charismatic, but prone to bursts of violence. He hunted prostitutes in the city by night and served at a Catholic church by day. Which of these two was the real killer? Or was it someone else entirely? Maureen Boyle first broke the story in 1988 and stayed with it for decades. In Shallow Graves she spins a riveting narrative about the crimes, the victims, the hunt for the killers, and the search for justice, all played out against the backdrop of an increasingly impoverished community beset by drugs and crime. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews, along with police reports, first-person accounts, and field reporting both during the killings and more recently, Shallow Graves brings the reader behind the scenes of the investigation, onto the streets of the city, and into the homes of the families still hoping for answers.
Book Synopsis The Four Corners of Palermo by : Giuseppe Di Piazza
Download or read book The Four Corners of Palermo written by Giuseppe Di Piazza and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A noir and sensual page-turner that cracks open the Mafia’s secret world through the stories of four lives Palermo in the 1980s is a perfect place for a young crime reporter to get his start. The Sicilian Mafia is at work, threatening, wounding, and killing anyone who dares to defy their orders. Our protagonist is himself no angel, hardly compassionate, a bit macho and egocentric, but candid in his recounting of what has unfolded in front of his eyes both on the job and in his private life. Di Piazza, who is also a Sicilian journalist, tells his stories as if he were reporting actual events. His description of the tense bravado of a youth growing up in the midst of Mafia terror is strikingly acute.

Book Synopsis The Mafia's Good Wife by : Aflyingwhale
Download or read book The Mafia's Good Wife written by Aflyingwhale and published by Padnovel. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (AN: Please read The Mafia's Good Girl before this book!) - Book 5 of The Devil's Price Series - “Before we get on with our business, there’s a bit of a paperwork you’d need to sign,” Damon said suddenly. He took out a piece of paper and pushed it towards Violet. “What’s this?” she asked. “A written agreement for the price of our sale,” Damon replied. He said it so calmly and so nonchalantly, like he wasn’t buying a girl’s virginity for one million dollars. Violet swallowed hard and her eyes began to glaze over the words on that paper. The agreement was pretty self-explanatory. It basically stated that she’d agree to this sale of her virginity for the aforementioned price and that their signatures would seal the deal. Damon already signed his part and hers was left blank. Violet looked up to see Damon handing her a pen. She came into this room with the thought of backing out, but after reading the document, Violet had another change of heart. It was one million dollars. This was more money than she could ever see in her lifetime. One night compared to that would be minuscule. One could even argue that it was a bargain. So before she could change her mind again, Violet took the pen from Damon’s hand and signed her name on the dotted line. Right as the clock struck midnight that day, Violet Rose Carvey had just signed a deal with Damon Van Zandt, the devil in the flesh. * Warning: Mature content ahead. Enter at your own risk. *
Book Synopsis The Cornbread Mafia by : James Higdon
Download or read book The Cornbread Mafia written by James Higdon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1987, Johnny Boone set out to grow and harvest one of the greatest outdoor marijuana crops in modern times. In doing so, he set into motion a series of events that defined him and his associates as the largest homegrown marijuana syndicate in American history, also known as the Cornbread Mafia. Author James Higdon—whose relationship with Johnny Boone, currently a federal fugitive, made him the first journalist subpoenaed under the Obama administration—takes readers back to the 1970s and ’80s and the clash between federal and local law enforcement and a band of Kentucky farmers with moonshine and pride in their bloodlines. By 1989 the task force assigned to take down men like Johnny Boone had arrested sixty-nine men and one woman from busts on twenty-nine farms in ten states, and seized two hundred tons of pot. Of the seventy individuals arrested, zero talked. How it all went down is a tale of Mafia-style storylines emanating from the Bluegrass State, and populated by Vietnam veterans and weed-loving characters caught up in Tarantino-level violence and heart-breaking altruism. Accompanied by a soundtrack of rock-and-roll and rhythm-and-blues, this work of dogged investigative journalism and history is told by Higdon in action-packed, colorful and riveting detail.

Book excerpt: Mafia Summit is the true story of how a small-town lawman in upstate New York busted a Cosa Nostra conference in 1957, exposing the Mafia to America In a small village in upstate New York, mob bosses from all over the country—Vito Genovese, Carlo Gambino, Joe Bonanno, Joe Profaci, Cuba boss Santo Trafficante, and future Gambino boss Paul Castellano—were nabbed by Sergeant Edgar D. Croswell as they gathered to sort out a bloody war of succession. For years, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had adamantly denied the existence of the Mafia, but young Robert Kennedy immediately recognized the shattering importance of the Appalachin summit. As attorney general when his brother JFK became president, Bobby embarked on a campaign to break the spine of the mob, engaging in a furious turf battle with the powerful Hoover. Detailing mob killings, the early days of the heroin trade, and the crusade to loosen the hold of organized crime, fans of Gus Russo and Luc Sante will find themselves captured by this momentous story. Reavill scintillatingly recounts the beginning of the end for the Mafia in America and how it began with a good man in the right place at the right time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic of Italian feminist mafia literature about a gender-bending mafiosa and the writer who becomes obsessed with telling her story Sicily, 1980s: When she was just eight years old, Tina watched as her father, a member of Cosa Nostra, was murdered in cold blood. Now a teenager, she terrorizes her hometown of Gela, having made it her mission to join the mafia, an organization traditionally forbidden to women as made members. Nicknamed ’a masculidda, or “the tomboy,” Tina has taken charge of her own clan, and is notorious for her cruelty and reckless disregard for societal expectations. When a news article is published about Tina’s latest crimes, a teacher living in Rome feels compelled to write a novel about her—even though it means returning to her native Sicily to gather material. She and Tina circle around each other in a dangerous dance of obsession and violence until their first, and last, explosive meeting. This groundbreaking exploration of gender identity and clear-eyed presentation of an unseen side of the mafia is a landmark literary achievement by one of Italy’s feminist icons.
Book Synopsis Mafia Battle in Demon's Shaodw by : Jay Honey
Download or read book Mafia Battle in Demon's Shaodw written by Jay Honey and published by Jay Honey. This book was released on 2024-01-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story unfolds like a storm, surpassing many Hollywood movies and best-selling novels. The tension in this book resembles the brute force of a hurricane, not just beginning on the second page but stretching throughout the entire book, concluding only when it has completely swept you away. Feel free to read for yourselves in the sample. Let me transport you into a world that I personally label as "Fiction-Style Fusion." Here, up to ten different genres blend into a unique, incomparable narrative. From thriller to action, mystery, horror, sci-fi, adventure, crime, romantic, to a touch of comedy and psychological thriller – my story encompasses the full spectrum. Certainly, you may wonder if it's even possible to combine ten genres in a single story. With this tale, I have managed to embrace this challenge and shape it meaningfully. Let yourself be carried away by a captivating fiction, in which initially street gangsters in San Francisco relentlessly pursue Katherine, a witness to a murder. Her quest for refuge leads her to a café, where she encounters Garen, a man of secrets, and the fearful waiter Simon. The escape from the ruthless street gangsters compels not only Katherine but also Garen and the fearful Simon to venture into the impenetrable Muir Woods in California. There, in an abandoned house that seemingly promises shelter, an eerie creature lurks unnoticed. While street gangsters storm the house, the powerful mafia pulls the strings in the background, and even corrupt FBI agents set out, another player takes the stage – none other than the righteous FBI Agent William Mahone. He too is on his way to the eerie house in the Muir Woods to expose his corrupt colleagues and hold them accountable. The burning question arises: Will Garen, Katherine, and Simon escape this eerie place? If so, where will the journey lead, and what unforeseen events await them? What happens to William as FBI Chief A. Jolie, his former FBI partner, notices his disappearance and embarks on a search for him? It sounds enticing, doesn't it...? But... I forgot to mention something: The eerie house is just a small fraction of what awaits everyone in this story. Because this is only the beginning.
