"Ninety percent of the public has never heard of how a powerful, under the radar mob figure, ran
little Italy in NYC for many years, but this book gives a fantastic account of lefty Paulie's power.
After appearing in over 80 movies, I know first hand about a great story, this is a must read book"

“As a long time criminal defense lawyer, I have never encountered a book more truthful in its
accounts of graphic details by the writer, G.T. Harrell. This book is a must read, for any one that
has any interest in the mob, law, and how a family from Italy survived in New York City in the 20th
century"

We knew Paulie and Anna when we lived in Little Italy. Paulie was known to be a small time bookie,
but we always suspected that he was more than that. Now we know. Thanks for this book. It’s right
on the mark.

Holy shit. I thought I’d never see the names Chalky Chalk, Patsy Credit and Paulie Lefty in print.
You got balls and this book is great. We knew them all. You got them right. Can’t wait to read more.

I was a chef in Little Italy for 20 years. Everyone knew Lefty was running the show. Nothing ever
got done without his approval. He was the man. Great book. Couldn’t put it down. I think I’ll read it
again.

I was a cop in the city for 30 years. We knew of Paulie but no one could tag him. Son of a bitch,
you got it, the whole fucking story. We tried to nail him for years but couldn’t get anything to stick.
Now we know why. Hell of a book. Everyone who lived or worked the mob thing should read this.

I was a driver in the city for I wont say who but I picked up Paulie Lefty with my boss many times.
He weren’t no small time bookie for Christ sake, he was the boss over my fucking boss. I knew that
just by things that were going on in my car. Really liked the book. You tell it as it was. Paulie was
the man. Nobody ever gave it a thought to fuck with him.
