The Sixth Family: The Collapse of the New York Mafia and the Rise of Vito Rizzuto

About this product

Few would have guessed that the slaying of three lieutenants in the Bonanno crime family in New York, decades ago, could be traced to a Canadian mobster. Committed with chilling efficiency, those murders signaled a dramatic power shift in the ongoing battle between the mafia in the U.S. and Canada for the lucrative heroin trade-and bore the brutal stamp of one mob veteran: Vito Rizzuto. In time for Rizzuto's upcoming trial in 2006, The Sixth Family draws on extensive research to tell the story of the secret 30-year across-the-border war between mafia empires and sheds light on Rizzuto himself-the archetypal international crime boss.
