Much has been written about John Gotti. But for the first time ever,
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and acclaimed author
Anthony M. DeStefano brings readers unprecedented access to the stone
cold murderers who worked for Gotti, killed for Gotti, and made him the
most powerful and deadly crime boss in America...
Meet the men who murdered for the mob--and made John Gotti the most
powerful and deadly crime boss in America.
In his bloody reign as the head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti
wracked up a lifetime of charges from gambling, extortion, and tax
evasion to racketeering, conspiracy, and five convictions of murder. He
didn't do it alone. Surrounding himself with a rogues gallery of
contract killers, fixers, and enforcers, he built one of the richest,
most powerful and violent crime empires in modern history. Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside Gotti's
inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and murderous deeds of the most
remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so
vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet
Gotti's Boys...
Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed
of bodies for the mob--by dissolving them in acid then displaying their
jewels.
Gene Gotti the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar
drug smuggling ring--enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero the loose-lipped contract killer who
was wire-tapped by the FBI--and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
Tony "Roach" Rampino the hardcore stoner who looked like a
cockroach--and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his
enemies.
"Sammy the Bull" Gravano the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti
execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano--then sang like a canary to
take Gotti down.
Rounding out this nefarious group were the likes of Frank DeCicco,
Vincent Artuso, and Joe "The German" Watts, a man who
wasn't a Mafiosi but had all of the power and prestige of one in John
Gotti's slaughterhouse crew. Gotti's Boys is a killer line-up of the
crime-hardened mob soldiers who killed at their ruthless leader's
merciless bidding--brought to vivid life by the prize-winning chronicler
of the American mob.
