"The Heights deserves a spot alongside the classics of the genre, earning its place in the same conversation with The Godfather."-5 STAR Reader Review-

FALL IN LINE, OR FALL IN A GRAVE

Based on the true story of an Italian immigrant who ruthlessly fought his way into Al Capone's inner circle and expanded organized crime across the American West

It's hard to believe Sal Liparello has survived long enough to enjoy a midday scotch on his California tomato farm.

The sixty-something crime boss from Chicago Heights helped take out Sicilian gangs, advised Al Capone on some of his biggest moves, and rubbed elbows with the Kennedys, Sinatra, and Marilyn Monroe - all while avoiding the likes of Eliot Ness and J. Edgar Hoover.

But as he surveys the fruits of his labor, Sal also remembers the cost of staying above ground and out of prison.

And all those decisions are about to catch up with him.All Rights Reserved

This particular night he didn't expect to bring the most important person in the Mob world home. Maybe she will warm his heart or maybe she will turn as cold as he is.

Mafia by TheWereVamp

The word "mafia" often conjures up images of menacing men in dark suits, smoking cigars and holding court in shadowy back rooms. They are portrayed as ruthless and cold-blooded individuals, willing to do whatever it takes to protect their interests and maintain their power. However, these stereotypes only scratch the surface of what the mafia truly is, and what it represents. In this thrilling adventure, we will explore the world of the mafia, delving deep into its history, culture, and inner workings. We will meet the people who make up this complex organization, and learn about their beliefs, values, and motivations. We will discover how the mafia operates, from its hierarchical structure to its codes of conduct and unwritten rules. Along the way, we will encounter a cast of colorful characters, each with their own story to tell. We will hear from former mobsters who have turned their backs on the life, and from law enforcement officials who have spent their careers trying to take down the mafia. We will visit the sites of infamous mafia crimes, and examine the impact that the mafia has had on society as a whole. Through it all, we will seek to answer the question: who is the mafia really?
