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

Being inside Ferrante’s mind is an amazing experience – Joel Stein * TIME *

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.
