Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 3 by Joe Bruno is a masterpiece of New York City's history of crimes and criminals, and even disasters. Many of these people were the dregs of society who Bruno dug up from the sewers of NYC and placed in a book.From the indulgent sections on The Old Brewery, the Brooklyn Theater Fire, Paul Castellano, Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese to Evelyn Mittelman aka The Kiss of Death, Bruno lays out spellbinding information that is captivating to the last word.This is the second book I've read by the author and have added him to my favourites. I like his style and the substance of his material. Good as a history book. Highly recommended.- RJ Parker, True Crime Author
