This book is about Carmine "Sonny Pinto" DiBiase, a hitman for the Colombo Family. He began his criminal career as an adolescent, getting into all manner of shenanagins. He eventually was made in the Genovese Family, though many sources claim he worked with the Colombo Family. He supposedly trafficked heroin, ran an illegal card game, Several members of organized crime families had plenty to say about his temperament, especially when he was drinking. It is believed that he was responsible for the deaths of Ali Waffa, Michael Granello, Joseph Viscone, and "Crazy Joe" Gallo. Gallo was murdered at Umberto's Clam House on April 1, 1972 by four gunmen. Carmine DiBiase was one of those gunmen.
This book is currently available to listen to on Audible Plus with your membership. I forget exactly how many hours this was, but it wasn't exceptionally long, and I listened to most of it while doing housework. I thought the book was really quite good. I always enjoy a book about organized crime. This particular time period in organized crime was full of hits and backstabbing. This book contained a lot of information about some of the more famous names to come out of organized crime, and goes into detail about why a hit was done on Crazy Joe Gallo. If you are into organized crime, you may want to give this one a listen.
