Book Reviews of Murder Machine (Onyx)
Book Review: "Big Paul's main Capo's Gotti's Advisaries"
Summary: 5 Stars
Murder Machine is a very well written book by a great author who I've had the opportunity to chat with through e-mails. This book is mainly about Nino Gaggi a Capo in the Gambinos who was a stand up guy, with a short temper and a lack of patience. He got his nephew a green beret just back from "NAM" involved in family bus- iness, at one point in the book, he posts his nephew in an attic with an automatic M16, because a meeting over a serious charge is going to happen, and his orders were, if Paul and I are not the first ones out, that means were already dead and you open fire & kill those who live! It's a very intense book, that is why the high rating, at one point, Nino is at a b-day party for someone when another Capo, Roy DeMeo appears on his door step dripping w/ sweat and informs him that this guy who's supposed to be whacked just happens to be on the corner, talking on the payphone. So Nino excuses himself gets a pistol, and his nephew, and away they go. Shots are traded up and down a block, I mean this is taking place in the mid-afternoon in a pretty nice neighborhood and here are these cowboys shooting up the streets as if nothing or nobody's gonna complain. I'm not gonna say if they hit the guy or not, you gotta buy the book for that, but as they are making their way back to Nino's party, Roy,who fell has a huge rip in his pant leg and is sweating up a storm, while Nino who always liked to dress sharp had dirt on his hands and his hair was going every which way. See Roy DeMeo's main job was sending cars to the Middle East, he used the Westies, the Irish Mob in Hells Kitchen to get them and in turn they taught Roy how to dismember and cut up a dead body into pieces and explained the finer parts of that trade, so they wouldn't have to worry about a body being found. These where the guys who Big Paul Castellano where gonna use to clip Gotti, but DeMeo got caught and they all got indicted.
