What People are saying about Joe Bruno's books:

ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON! – I love Joe Bruno's books. I always say that he's the NYC true crime historian. NYC has had its share of murder and corruption over the past couple of centuries and the author is a wealth of knowledge about it. A must read for any true crime book collector.

RJ Parker - Best Selling Author of True Crime Books TRUE CRIME AT ITS BEST!!

Joe Bruno has a way of giving real light into his mob stories. His easy writing style pulls you in, and his no BS attitude allows you as a reader to get the full story not just what he chooses to share.

There is so much real life history in these books. His books are especially edge of your seat interesting. They are mind blowing, really. I would highly recommend you pick up a copy of one of his books. You’ll see what I am talking about. – Brenda Perlin – Adult Contemporary Fiction Author.

Joe Bruno, a former New York City sports writer, is the author of 38 true crime books, two crime novels, and two screenplays. ***** Mathew J. Mari, New York City criminal lawyer for 38 years, says, "Joe Bruno and I grew up in the same neighborhood on the Lower East Side of New York City. We met and know the most of the same people, some of whom are alleged to be organized crime figures. And I emphasize the word 'alleged.' "That's why Joe Bruno's insight and style makes it easy for the reader to understand the colorful yet brutal characters that dominated the crime scene in America for two centuries. He knows what he's talking about because he's lived through it. "Joe Bruno's mob books are 'A composite of characters and events, which weaves the denizens of the underworld with the rich history of New York City, as well as in other parts of the country.'"
