The Vatican Connection - The...

Richard Hammer

With a round, open face and a penchant for tall tales, Matteo de Lorenzo resembled everyone's kindly uncle. But Uncle Marty, as he was known throughout the Genovese crime family, was one of the New York mob's top earners throughout the 1960s and '70s, the mastermind of a billion-dollar trade in stolen and counterfeit securities. 
 
 
  
In the spring of 1972, de Lorenzo and his business partner, Vincent Rizzo, traveled to Europe to discuss a plan to launder millions of dollars' worth of phony securities. Shockingly, the plot involved Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, the scandal-plagued president of the Vatican Bank. Unbeknownst to de Lorenzo and Rizzo, however, the NYPD was already on the case—thanks to the work of Det. Joseph Coffey. 
 
 
  
Coffey, the New York policeman who investigated the Lufthansa heist and took the Son of Sam's confession, learned of the scheme in a wiretap related to the attempted mob takeover of the Playboy Club in Manhattan. He worked tirelessly to trace the fraudulent stocks and bonds around the world and deep into the corridors of power in Washington, DC, and Rome. 
 
 
  
Meticulously researched and relentlessly gripping, The Vatican Connection is a true story of corruption and deceit.

Bufalino - Revelations of a...

Charles Bufalino

Russell Bufalino was considered the most powerful Mob boss of his day, if not all time. But until now, no one has ever traced Russell's career back to the coal fields of Northeastern Pennsylvania, or explored the legacy of the Pittston crime family Russell would inherit. Charles Bufalino, cousin and caretaker of the family's explosive history, offers the most authentic and probable solution to the greatest Mob mystery of all time: What really happened to Jimmy Hoffa?Stretching back to the Bufalino roots in Sicily and the emigration of the men of Montedoro to the turn-of-the-nineteenth-century Pennsylvania coal fields, this gripping story lays the groundwork for the inception of an organized crime empire. Once in America, the Bufalinos penetrated both sides of the labor-versus-management conflict to magnify their own power and ultimately influence events on the national stage. By the 1950s, Russell would be named boss—the Don of all Dons. Blood ties and extended family were his to control. Likewise, his enemies, including Teamsters president, Jimmy Hoffa.Delving deeply into corroborated family documentation, Charles Bufalino separates fact from fiction and corrects the presumed history of his ruthlessly enterprising ancestors to paint an intimate portrait of one of the most storied crime families of the twentieth century.
