Jimmy Conway always wanted to be famous. As a teenager he even stashed away a series of letters advising his future self on how to handle all the fame and fortune coming his way. And so when he’s reunited wih these rather embracing predictions in his mid-thirties he can’t help feeling he must be a bit of a disappointment to himself.
They kidnapped him in a small town In Brazil. He had changed his name and his appearance, but they were sure they had their man.
Four years before, he had been called Patrick S. Lanigan. He had died in a car crash in February 1992. His gravestone lay in a cemetery in Biloxi, Mississippi. He had been a partner at an up and coming law firm, had a pretty wife, a new daughter, and a bright future. Six weeks after his death, $90 million had disappeared from the law firm. It was then that his partners knew he was still alive.
He always travelled to work under an assumed name, though typically it was one he never changed. In later years, when he retired and it became public knowledge, there came a time when schoolchildren would dance around concrete playgrounds singing of his fabled false identity and the case which made him, as one newspaper tactlessly put it, ‘hang up his hat’.
Mirella and Howard are floundering. Two careers, two troubled children, a dilapidated colonial house outside Boston. The exploding laundry, the dog getting into the trash again. Then along comes Randi, a dream of a nanny, who cooks, cleans-even makes her own Play-Doh. Not only does she win over the children, the whole neighbourhood approves of her.
This book traces the Mafia’s beginnings from an underground patriotic society which sprang up six hundred years ago in Sisily, through the group of Italian immigrants – the Black Hand – Who savagely tore control of New York’s waterfronts away from Irish racketeers, to the Mob which went on to run organized crime throughout Italy and America. Drawing on previously unavailable information and nearly two decades of research, William Balsamo – great-nephew of the first godfather – and George Carpozi Jr. trace the Black Hand’s coalescence into an organization whose insidious influence reached across the Atlantic and into a presidential administration. And they go behind the headlines to reveal with chilling clarity the true extent of the Mafia’s influence today.
