DeStefano's book, due next June. Due for a June 1, 2015 release, Anthony DeStefano 's history of organized crime in New York City from the mid-19th Century until today is titled Gangland New York: The Places and Faces of Mob History . An author we make it a point to read , DeStefano has noted on his blog that, in writing the book, he sorted through hundreds of archival and current photographs "but it was worth the effort." "Gangland New York" deals not only with Italian organized crime but also "the gangs and criminal combinations of the Irish, Chinese, Jews, Russians, Albanians and many others, including the Greeks."

Jerry Capeci enjoys lunch on the New York Times..... For me it began with Carl Kolchak, a fictional Chicago newspaper reporter played by Darren McGavin , who investigated stories that invariably lead our intrepid journalist head-on into supernatural forces that had somehow infiltrated our universe. Then it was Jerry Capeci... I voraciously read his Gangland column in print and then online. For all I knew gangsters fell into the same category as monsters and things of the night. I figure despite who my heroes were, I'd never be personally involved, never thought I'd get to know one, never mind multiple wiseguys.
