Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Organized crime is a dark and dangerous world, but it is also a fascinating one. From the bootlegging gangs of the Prohibition era to the powerful Mafia families of today, organized crime has played a significant role in American history.

In this explosive new book, we take readers on a journey into the shadowy underworld of the Mob. We explore the history of organized crime, from its humble beginnings in the slums of New York City to its rise to power as the dominant force in American crime. We meet some of the most notorious mobsters of all time, including Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Meyer Lansky. We learn about the Mob's involvement in major crimes, such as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. And we examine the Mob's cultural impact, from its portrayal in movies and television to its influence on fashion and popular culture.

But this book is not just about the history of organized crime. It is also about the present day. The Mob is still alive and well, and it continues to pose a serious threat to our society. In recent years, the Mob has become increasingly involved in new criminal activities, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and cybercrime. It has also expanded its reach into new territories, both in the United States and abroad.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the world of organized crime. It is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the Mob, from its humble beginnings to its powerful presence today. It is also a fascinating and entertaining read, full of stories of violence, corruption, and betrayal.

This book is perfect for fans of true crime, history, and American culture. It is also a valuable resource for law enforcement officers, journalists, and anyone else who wants to learn more about the Mob.

The Writer Who Became a Serial Killer: Jack Unterweger
What happens when society celebrates a monster as a hero?
In the chilling depths of Austrian history lies one of Europe's most shocking criminal cases. Jack Unterweger appeared to be the perfect redemption story—a convicted murderer who found salvation through literature, transforming from killer to celebrated writer while imprisoned. His autobiography became a bestseller, intellectuals campaigned for his freedom, and Austria embraced him as proof that even the darkest souls could find light.
But when Unterweger walked free after 15 years, a trail of bodies began appearing across three countries and two continents.
This gripping true crime narrative exposes how a master manipulator fooled an entire nation, using his pen as a weapon of deception while secretly planning his next murders. From the cobblestone streets of Vienna to the dark forests of Czech Republic, and ultimately to the sun-soaked avenues of Los Angeles, Unterweger left a horrifying legacy that challenged everything society believed about justice, rehabilitation, and human nature.
Who was the real Jack Unterweger—the gifted author or the transcontinental killer?
This meticulously researched account reveals the psychological profile of a psychopath who weaponized literature, manipulated the media, and exploited society's deepest desire to believe in redemption. Featuring unprecedented cooperation between Austrian police and the FBI, this case rewrote the rules of international criminal investigation.
A haunting exploration of evil disguised as good, this true story will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about justice, celebrity, and the masks worn by monsters among us.
