My Life in the Mafia

This is the book no one thought would ever be written - the actual, first-person memoir of a top Mafia figure. Vincent Teresa was not only the No. 3 man in his Mafia crime family and its top money-maker; he was also an intimate of many of America's leading Mafiosi. Furious because the mob betrayed him while he was in jail, Teresa decided to break the Mafia code of silence. He became the government's most important witness against organized crime, and his testimony has caused more than fifty top crime figures to be indicted or convicted. No Teresa lives in hiding, protected night and day by federal marshals from the mob assassins who have a $500,000 contract to kill him.
