Mob Boss: The Life of Little Al D'arco, the Man Who Brought Down the Mafia

Alfonso Little Al DArco, the former acting boss of the Luchese crime family, was the highest-ranking mobster to ever turn government witness when he flipped in 1991. His decision to flip prompted many others to make the same choice, including John Gottis top aide, Salvatore Sammy the Bull Gravano, and his testimony sent more than fifty mobsters to prison. In Mob Boss, award-winning news reporters Jerry Capeci and Tom Robbins team up for this unparalleled account of DArcos life and the New York mob scene that he embraced for four decades. Until the day he switched sides, DArco lived and breathed the old-school gangster lessons he learned growing up in Brooklyn and fine-tuned on the mean streets of Little Italy. But when he learned he was marked to be whacked, DArco quit the mob.
