The story follows Joe Parisi, who guns down the “King of Bootleggers,” Carlo Siniscalchi, a ruthless crime boss, as his limousine idled against the curb. The ferocious and devastating retaliatory attack that follows on Parisi’s unsuspecting family and attorney. A car-to-car exchange of gunfire between mob gunmen on a desolate Connecticut roadway. The electrifying trial had over 2,000 people huddled around the courthouse, awaiting every word uttered from within by Parisi’s defense attorney, the future Governor of Massachusetts. The Bootleg Queen, Pasqualina Siniscalchi-Miranda, ferociously and savagely ambushed by a gang of ruthless mafia hitmen, marking the first time the mob put a hit on a woman. A notorious gangster, Michael Fiore, sitting in a barber chair with a towel draped over his shoulders, suddenly a target of a burst of bullets.
A must-read for anyone fascinated with Mafia history - and a rare inside account of the rise of the "Springfield Crew" in Massachusetts, its ties with the Genovese Crime Family of New York, and its evolution into the present-day Mob.
Family insider Nick Parisi reveals the truth behind the legends, disclosing for the first time the unforgiving aftermath of the Mafia lifestyle, with the compelling drive of a thriller and the power of a painfully honest family memoir.
Editorial Reviews
"One of the most gripping true crime stories I have ever read. Be warned: it is not for the faint-hearted. This book will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish... I highly recommend it for true crime aficionados and fans of mob thrillers." -Reader's Favorite Awards
"A story of racketeering, vendettas, and corruption. It is also the story of successful assimilation, as the young immigrant started a business, got rid of his competition, and largely got away with it to live out the American Dream." -Mafia Book Reviews
"This book is the perfect read for anyone who is a fan of true stories, especially thrillers about organized crime and mafia themes... This story deserves to be filmed." -The Real Gangster Saga
"As well as being a rollicking true crime story, it's the most complete insider history of the Mafia in Springfield, Massachusetts, written to date. A must-read." -Mafia Genealogy
Most true crime books have a detached feeling, keeping the reader at arm's length from their subject. The unique storytelling style of Mafia Confession lends a more personal and emotional feel to the history of a murder. -Reedsy
"Very well written by Author Nick Parisi, he takes readers back to the days of prohibition seen through the eyes of a family member who was there." -New England Wiseguys
"One of the best new Organized Crime books." -Book Authority
"An absorbing, intimate, alluring story of one family's tumultuous past." -Johnny Mathis, Legendary Singer and Grammy Hall of Famer”
