Specificatii
In this page-turning narrative, noted true crime writer Ron
Chepesiuk chronicles the story of one of history's lesser known but
most important mob dynasties. For nearly seven decades, Santo
Trafficante, Sr. and his son, Santo, Jr. were prominent gangsters
on the Tampa crime scene. Santo, Sr. arrived in Tampa in 1902 and
settled in the Ybor City area where he slowly began his climb to
the top of the Tampa mob scene. Along the way, he became a clever
and ruthless gangster who preferred to operate in the shadows. By
the mid 1920s, Santo, Sr. had become a powerful force in the Tampa
mafia. Two decades later, the U.S. government reported that he was
strongly suspected of having financed important narcotics
transactions. During Tampa's Era of Blood from 1930 through the
1950s, in which several local gangsters were murdered, Santo, Sr.
emerged as Tampa's most powerful mobster. He would remain so until
his death in 1954. His successor, Santo, Jr., lead the Tampa mob
for more than three decades and became involved in some of
history's most seminal events. They include mob dominance of the
gambling scene in pre-Castro Cuba, the CIA plots to kill Castro,
the spectacular mob hit of godfather Albert Anastasia in 1957, the
famous mob meeting at Apalachin in upstate New York that followed
shortly after, the John F. Kennedy assassination, and the
development of narcotics networks in Latin America and Southeast
Asia, among others. Unlike most other godfathers, Santo, Jr. never
spent more than a night in an American jail. When he died in 1987,
organized crime expert Ralph Salerno described Santo, Jr.'s death
as the end of an era and the godfather as the last of the old time
(gangland) leaders. In vivid prose and concise detail, Chepesiuk
weaves the fascinating story of the legendary gangsters, the
Trafficantes. Ron Chepesiuk's book on the Trafficantes takes the
reader behind the headlines to the real story, uncensored and
without filters. The book is fast-paced with fascinating factual
details told in Chepesiuk's trademark tell-it-as-it-is writing
style. A must read for true crime aficionados. --Elle Andra-Warner,
author of several best-selling books, including Edmund Fitzgerald:
The Legendary Great Lakes Shipwreck and The Mounties; Robert
Service.
