The book chronicles the highs and lows of a working-class Brooklyn kid who grew up with a fascination for the mafia lifestyle. Through the author's journalistic chronicle, the reader is taken on a journey of violence, excess, and the inner workings of the mob.

This true-crime book is a gripping and engrossing read, offering a glimpse into the secret life of the mob. With its non-stop narrative, Wiseguy is an unforgettable account of the author's experiences.
