Carmine the Snake

Praise for the work of Frank DiMatteo and Michael Benson “Carmine the Snake, written in a conversational style with street vernacular and sprinkled with Frank DiMatteo’s personal anecdotes and reminiscences, offers another look at the infamous crime boss.” —The Washington Times “DiMatteo tells what it was like to grow up with mob royalty.” —VICE on The President Street Boys “The authors give a detailed account of the suspected assassins … don’t shy away from discussing Gallo’s flaws … fans of true crime and mafia stories will appreciate the insider’s look at the figures and neighborhoods that comprised New York mob life in the 20th century.” —Library Journal on Mafia Hit Man “The President Street Boys is nothing like any other mafia-related book I’ve ever read. I loved this book. I will be reading it again in the future. The level of detail is so high, to me, it requires multiple passes to absorb it all.” —Crimespree Magazine “At times, this book is unsettling. Other times, it’s humorous. No matter what part you’re reading, it’ll remain a tour-de-force.” —Criminal Element on The President Street Boys “This title will please Mafia fans looking for gruesome details.” —Library Journal on Lord High Executioner “Takes me back as if it was a time machine … compelling reading. I loved the book because I was there.” —Sonny Girard, author of Blood of Our Fathers on The President Street Boys
