The Sinatra Club: My Life Inside the New York Mafia

The Mob was once the biggest and richest business in America, but it was destroyed from within by drugs, greed, and decline of traditional crime family values.

Sal Polisi, a member of New York's feared Colombo Family, ran an illegal after-hours gambling den called the Sinatra Club, where up-and-coming mobsters like John Gotti and the three wiseguys immortalized in Martin Scorsese's GoodFellas hung out.

But when Polisi was busted for drug trafficking, he became a rat and revealed a never-before-seen picture of a larger-than-life secret underworld that no longer exists.

This shocking, pulse-pounding, and darkly hilarious first-person chronicle is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of organized crime.
