This book is about the Philadelphia organized crime family, at the time, led by Nicky Scarfo. This particular story is told by the underboss of said family, who also happened to be the nephew of Nicky Scarfo, Phil Leonetti. Leonetti earned himself a reputation with his familial connections as well as his actions on behalf of the family, at one point earning himself the nickname "Crazy Phil". This particular era of organized crime history was interesting and volatile, with major players that included John Gotti. I had actually not read very much about organized crime families outside of New York, New Jersey, and Chicago. This was a pretty good glimpse into the connectedness between Philadelphia and other cities. I always like books written by former members, and this one did not disappoint. I would recommend this book. I have the Audible version, and it was about six hours to listen to it.
