Description
The Sixth Family by Adrian Humphreys and Lee Lamothe is a gripping true crime account that delves into the rise of Vito Rizzuto, a notorious figure in global organized crime. On May 5, 1981, three members of New York's Bonanno crime family were gunned down in a Brooklyn social club, setting off a chain of events that would take Rizzuto to the top of the underworld and beyond. As police in the United States, Italy, and Canada worked to unravel the complex web of alliances and rivalries that defined Rizzuto's empire, long-held notions about the nature of authority within the Mafia were challenged. This book provides a detailed and insightful look at the events that led to charges against Rizzuto for racketeering and corruption, and how he managed to survive a deadly assault from gangland rivals. With meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Humphreys and Lamothe shed new light on one of the most infamous figures in modern crime history, revealing the hidden history behind the rise of the Rizzuto clan.
