The Syndicate Shuffle

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the heart of Philadelphia, where shadows dance and secrets unfold, lies a tale of organized crime, betrayal, and redemption. Enter the world of The Syndicate Shuffle, where Ron Previte, a man of contradictions, walks the treacherous line between cop and capo.

Ron Previte, a towering figure in the Philadelphia–South Jersey crime family, commanded respect and fear in equal measure. As a capo, he orchestrated heists, controlled rackets, and reveled in the illicit thrills of the underworld. But beneath the hardened exterior, a flicker of conscience remained, a yearning for a different life.

As the years went by, Previte witnessed firsthand the brutality, the betrayal, and the corrosive impact of organized crime on his community. The syndicate's iron grip tightened, squeezing the life out of neighborhoods and corrupting the very fabric of society. The turning point came when Previte could no longer turn a blind eye to the suffering around him.

With a heavy heart, Previte made the fateful decision to turn informant, becoming a mole within the syndicate, risking his life and the lives of his loved ones to bring down the organization from within. With a wiretap secured to his person, he recorded incriminating conversations, exposing the syndicate's inner workings and leading to the arrests and convictions of countless mobsters.

The Syndicate Shuffle is a gripping narrative that delves into the extraordinary life of Ron Previte, the rise and fall of the Philadelphia Mob, and the intricate dance between law enforcement and organized crime. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this book uncovers the secrets of the syndicate, its ruthless tactics, and the extraordinary events that led to its demise.

This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of redemption, and the unwavering determination of those who dare to stand against injustice. It is a cautionary tale about the allure and dangers of organized crime, a reminder that the pursuit of power and wealth at any cost comes with a heavy price.

Death Row at Truro - The...

Geoff Plunkett

Innocent young women, a sadistic serial killing duo and … the true story as revealed by the lead detective. 
 
Australia’s most prolific serial sexual killers met in prison. They were a complete contrast: Christopher Worrell, the charismatic psychopathic youngster; and James Miller, the older and socially awkward loner. For Miller, it was love at first sight. They developed an ominous sexual bond – proving that opposites can attract – and then kill. 
 
Once free, the inseparable tag team slayed as many people as notorious Australian serial killer Ivan Milat. Whereas Milat took a year to murder seven victims, the duo achieved the same in seven short weeks … the last four killed in only six days. 
The frenzied carnage only stopped when Worrell died in a car accident. So ended the life of Australia’s own BTK. Like America’s Dennis Radar, Worrell bound, tortured and killed – because he could. 
 
Revealed for the first time is the full account of the victims, the serial killers and the lead detective, a relentless investigator who broke the silence of the surviving murderer, the only person who knew the full truth … But was Miller’s truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

The Padre - The True Story of...

Jennifer O'Leary

Today, Tipperary-born priest Patrick Ryan cuts a modest but strong figure, to the layperson. A man of God who has been entrusted with the confessions of hundreds of earnest parishioners. But in fact his story is dark, dramatic, and pivotal to Irish history, on both sides of the border. 
 
In The Padre, award-winning investigative journalist Jennifer O’Leary exposes the paramilitary exploits of notorious former Catholic priest and active IRA supporter Patrick Ryan – exposing details which have, outside of his very guarded circles, been unknown until now. 
 
Drawing on highly sensitive information, divulged by Ryan during exclusive secret meetings with the author, The Padre lifts the lid on the true extent of the priest’s involvement with the IRA: from being the link between the organisation and the Gaddafi regime, to Ryan’s connection to the failed assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet. 
 
The Padre tells the truly remarkably story of this man of the cloth, and his lifelong struggle with what he, in his heart, believes to be right and wrong.
