    The author jonathan Lemkin would like to address that the following book is about the Life of robert vititieri also known as Red capone note Tommy karate is a real person currently serving life sentences additionally i would like to dedicate this book named Red capone to Michael mcknight a hard working gentleman from bensonhurst brooklyn. 
     Imet him at mr biggs bar and grill when i was a bouncer in hell’s kitchen about 25 years ago.   
    Michael Mcknight he thought the life and times of Ray capone a.k.a. robert vitierri should be a movie so i decided to write a book in hopes of his vision coming to light 
    Robert’s father took him out of school on the fifth grade, and he grew up without knowing how to read and write.  
    In my opinion I’m the author. my father put me in a school that both older brothers and sister had graduated from went it was a private school a huge privilege from this vision my father had was in my opinion why They all had graduated from Ivy League schools . unfortunately When I was my 10, my father suddenly died, and my mother, unfortunately made the decision to take me out of this private school because she feared she wouldn't be able to afford now realizing older and wiser this was against my fathers wishes and This severely affected my integration with what he would call Goyim , because I was suffering from the loss of my father and I was put around people that I was not supposed to be around for lack of better words. My father’s wishes were for me to remain in yeShiva and move to Israel. Let’s just say that didn’t happen. not yet.. 
    Robert's sister is a nurse and she was taken back by the fact that someone wrote a book about him. She was upset that she would have to read the book to him. That’s why this audible dedication in this part is very important.

    "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. Writing the first true detective in fiction, Poe's Dupin originated many literary conventions which would be used in future fictional detectives including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".
