2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the murder of small-time gambler Herman Rosenthal - the most celebrated murder of its time. Make no mistake, there are no good guys here; no innocent victims. The fact is Bald Jack Rose, a well-known New York City criminal, framed crooked New York City police lieutenant - Charles Becker - for the killing of stool pigeon Herman Rosenthal. People in the underworld cheered the death of Rosenthal; he was disliked that much. But that doesn't negate the fact that the wrong man sat in Sing Sing's electric chair for ordering Rosenthal's murder, while the man who framed Becker - and orchestrated the murder of Rosenthal himself - walked away a free man. "The Wrong Man" explains how this all happened, and who benefited from Becker's conviction and execution. You'd be shocked, surprised, and sickened at how easily an innocent man, albeit a crooked cop, could be framed. If it could happen to Lieut. Charles Becker, it could happen to any one of us. A sobering thought, indeed.

Anti-harem, Dee is the villain who has been taken care of (by either Save My Self You or the skeletons in the mansion), and lots of groveling. Soulmates are a thing, not that you're too keen on that. Shorter chapters because I'm exhausted. Drabble-like. Mostly linear.

Refer to the title, but no really, this is just ideas I get when I read fanfic. Sometimes its something cute I thought of, or something that annoys me about the fanfic. I also never see fanfics with perseverance SOULs (which I like to think I am, soo uhh, yeah-)

After reading this sort but amazing book by John Steinbeck I've decided that I wanted to write some Six Word Memoirs for some of the characters. I do not own the story or the characters, they are the work of John Steinbeck and I give him full credit to this.

Being kidnapped is not fun, ask Nathan, he just was! After being kidnapped, Nathan must find his way home in an unfamiliar territory. All the while trying to avoid the cunning madman, who is trying to kill him. Does Nathan have what it takes? He'll need smarts, bravery, and friendship to save his life, and maybe the world's...

Introduction – By Mathew J. Mari I have been a criminal defense lawyer in New York City for 34 years, specializing in organized crime cases. Like Joe Bruno, I was born in New York City's Little Italy. Also, like Joe Bruno, I lived in Knickerbocker Village for more than three decades. Our neighborhood was filled with unforgettable characters, most of whom were criminals, and many of whom were in the Mafia. Joe got to meet and see many famous criminals during his years in Little Italy (in the 6th Ward), and in Knickerbocker Village (in the 4th Ward). It is no surprise to me that Joe was fascinated not only with the mafia characters, but with the entire history of Lower Manhattan, and New York City in general. Joe Bruno's book, “ Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks and Other Creeps-Volume 1- New York City" is a composite of characters and events, that weaves the denizens of New York City's underworld with the rich history of New York City, from the early 1800's, through the early 1900's. Although Italian-American criminals are covered, this is not just another Italian mafia book. The book covers the Jewish gangsters as well (who truly were the pioneers of organized crime) and the Irish gangs, who were one of the first ethnic groups to run the New York City rackets. Joe even presents a few "lady gangsters" too. Most of all, “ Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks and Other Creeps-Volume 1- New York City" is easy to read. The short-chapter format is a stroke of genius. It is interesting, informative, entertaining, and to the point. You won't be bored reading it. Joe Bruno has hit the mark in presenting Old New York the way it really was. Rough and bloody!

Like The Don said, "Buy this book, or I'll make you an offer you can't refuse." "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 2- New York City" is not a continuation of "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 1- New York City," but rather a complement to Volume I. Volume 2 starts in the time period of the early 1820's, and ends in the mid 1900's. This is not a book about nice people. This is a book about the lowest forms of life ever to walk the face of the earth: Mafioso, murderers, con artists, prostitutes, base street thugs, crooked politicians; people who do deliciously decadent things to other people, as easily as stepping on a roach . The exception is New York City Detective Joseph Petrosino, who took on the vicious Black Hand, but lost his life in Sicily because he wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks, and Other Creeps - Volume 2- New York City" is not for everyone. But if you enjoy reading about people who are so unaffected about what they do, they can eat a hot roast beef sandwich minutes after slitting some poor guy's throat, this book is definitely for you. Take a deep breath, fire up your Kindle, and enjoy. There are worse ways to spend $.99.

This Book is dedicated to the novel "Of Mice and Men"
