    Gangsters Murders and Weirdos

    Born and raised on the lower east side myself it was
    enlightening to read history of the streets I've walked.
    Well written and keeps your interest going, before I knew
    it I was back in time remembering Streets that no longer exist.
    Great book, great writing!!
    Can't wait for another book to be released.
