Critics Review
It’s very rare when someone from Lou’s world has the heart of a writer. Criminal experiences don’t usually lead to great insights. Louis Ferrante is different - his talent for storytelling shines through – Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wise Guy and Casino
Building his case in concise, economical prose, Ferrante draws on an extensive knowledge of world events, mob lore and personal experience … a rousing memoir, meditation on world history and Mafia exposé all in one – Kirkus Reviews on Mob Rules
Being inside Ferrante’s mind is an amazing experience – Joel Stein * TIME *
Louis Ferrante
Louis Ferrante led a professional heist crew within the Gambino crime family and served nearly a decade in America’s worst prisons after refusing to inform on his former associates. While in prison, he educated himself and studied law, science, and history, ultimately becoming a writer. His last book, Mob Rules, was an international bestseller translated into twenty languages, and his Discovery Channel series, Inside the Gangsters’ Code, earned him a Grierson Award nomination for Presenter of the Year. For his contribution to American history, he was made an Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
