A Mafia insider and authentic Hollywood tough guy reveals the explosive secrets heā€™s learned (and kept) for decades in this shocking tell all that unveils the hidden worlds of film and organized crimeā€”from who shot JFK and murdered Jimmy Hoffa to the truth about Marilyn Monroeā€™s death.

Foreword by Steve Schirripa, star of The Sopranos, Blue Bloods, and Under the Boardwalk

The Kennedys, Marilyn, the Vatican, Vegas, The Godfather, the Mob, and more . . .

During a cursed childhood in a Manhattan neighborhood teeming with Italian immigrants, Gianni Russo fended for himself at an early age. It was a quality that didnā€™t go unnoticed by Frank Costelloā€”father figure, mentor, and legendary crime boss. Thanks to Costello, Gianni was only twelve when his luck would change for a lifetime. All of it charmedā€”and thrilling. With it came Hollywood glamor, Vegas risk-takers, political conspiracies, sex, murder, shadow governments, and secrets. The stories Gianni Russo could tell . . . 

Now he does in this bombshell confessional. This is the inside account of the Sicilian Mafia, Cosa Nostra, what really transpired in those Mulberry Street clubs, and who whacked whomā€”including how mobster Tony Spilotro and his brother really died, finally revealed for the first time. This is Gianni, buddy of Frank Sinatra, and intimately more with Marilyn Monroe. Whatā€™s the cover-up behind her death, JFKā€™s, and Jimmy Hoffaā€™s? Itā€™s all here. So is the clandestine role of the pope as the sacred boss of bosses, the glory days and downfall of Las Vegas, and the colorful behind-the-scenes tales of Gianniā€™s role in the greatest movie ever made, The Godfather.

The go-getter Frank Costello once called ā€œThe Kidā€ shares his shocking, exhilarating, sometimes violent, and always riveting life with the dealmakers of Hollywood and the Mob. Gianni Russo lives to tell, and spills it all.
