  When Noelle’s late husband Jimmy appears as an angel and encourages her to fantasize about falling in love again, Noelle creates a new life for herself with Jonathan - an alcoholic criminal attorney who is the Mob’s heir apparent consigliere. After Jonathan and his 10-year-old son are victims of a hit-and-run accident on Christmas Day, Noelle is hired to help Jonathan recover. Despite trying to keep their relationship professional, sparks fly, and Jonathan and Noelle soon fall in love. When Jonathan learns his hit-and-run was no accident, he and Noelle must discover why the Mob was trying to kill him, and why they still want him dead. Will Noelle and Jonathan be able to stop the Mob in time? Or will Jonathan and his young son become yet another loss in Noelle’s tragic life? In this continuation of Noelle’s Ark and the Adventures of Oleo, this story, akin to Goodfellas meets The Miracle Worker, is one you won’t want to miss. ungekürzt.

  Top Hoodlum: Frank Costello, Prime Minister of the Mafia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min

  The press nicknamed him "The Prime Minister of the Underworld". The US Treasury's Bureau of Narcotics described him as "one of the most powerful and influential Mafia leaders in the U.S." But to friends and associates, he was simply "Uncle Frank". Who was Frank Costello really? That's the question Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Anthony M. DeStefano sets out to answer in this definitive portrait of one of the most fascinating figures in the annals of American crime.... Using newly released FBI files, eyewitness accounts, and family mementos, Top Hoodlum takes you inside the Mafia that Frank Costello helped build from the ground up, from small-time bootlegging and gambling to a nationwide racketeering empire. Sometimes shocking, sometimes amusing, and always riveting, these are the stories that have inspired American crime classics like The Godfather, Casino, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos. This is the man who made the Mafia such a powerful force in our nation's history. This is Top Hoodlum. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: L.J. Ganser.

  The Many Saints of Newark

  Mit dem Kinofilm 'The Many Saints of Newark' legt 'New Line Cinema' das mit Spannung erwartete Spielfilm-Prequel zur wegweisenden, preisgekrönten HBO-Dramaserie 'Die Sopranos' vor. Der junge Anthony 'Tony' Soprano (Michael Gandolfini) wächst in einer der turbulentesten Phasen in der Geschichte 'Newarks' auf. Er ist gerade erst ein junger Mann, als rivalisierende Gangster beginnen, die Vorherrschaft des mächtigen DiMeo-Verbrecherclans infrage zu stellen. Zugleich erschüttern heftige Rassenkonflikte die Stadt. Mittendrin in diesen Zeiten des Wandels ist Anthonys geliebter Onkel Richard 'Dickie' Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola), der damit zu kämpfen hat, seine beruflichen und privaten Verpflichtungen miteinander in Einklang zu bringen. Dickies Einfluss auf seinen Neffen ist es schließlich, der aus dem unbedarften Teenager den übermächtigen Mafiaboss macht, den wir später kennenlernen werden: Tony Soprano... Zu sehen sind in 'The Many Saints of Newark' (2021) von Regisseur Alan Taylor, der hier als Sopranos-Prequel die Gründerjahre des New Jersey Gangsters Tony Soprano in den sechziger Jahren erzählt, die Schauspielstars Alessandro Nivola (aus 'Ungehorsam und 'American Hustle'), Tony-Gewinner Leslie Odom Jr. (Broadway-Stück 'Hamilton', 'Mord im Orient-Express'), Jon Bernthal ('Baby Driver', 'The Wolf of Wall Street'), Corey Stoll ('Aufbruch zum Mond', 'Ant-Man'), Michael Gandolfini (aus der Serie 'The Deuce'), Billy Magnussen ('Game Night', 'The Big Short'), Michela De Rossi ('Boys Cry', Serie 'The Rats'), John Magaro ('The Finest Hours', 'Not Fade Away') sowie Emmy-Preisträger Ray Liotta (Serie 'Shades of Blue', 'GoodFellas - Drei Jahrzehnte in der Mafia') und Oscar-Kandidatin Vera Farmiga ('Up in the Air', die 'Conjuring' Filmreihe).

  Carmine the Snake: Carmine Persico and His Murderous Mafia Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min

  In this blistering street-level account, "Mafia survivor" Frank DiMatteo teams up with true-crime master Michael Benson to take down one of the most notorious figures in the American La Cosa Nostra. This is the real inside story of Carmine "The Snake" Persico, from his crime-filled childhood on the streets of Brooklyn to the long-term jail sentences that didn't stop him from controlling his criminal empire, with the help of his brother - the equally kill-crazy Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico. This is the story of his deadly teen years as leader of the fearsome Garfield Boys; his recruitment into the Profaci - later the Colombo - crime family; his bloody betrayal of the Gallo brothers; his role in the hair-raising ambush and slaying of Albert Anastasia - the Lord High Executioner of Murder, Inc. - as he sat in a barbershop chair getting a shave; the terror he struck into the hearts of the New York Mafia's other families, and even his own crews; and the many courtroom trials where Persico walked after witnesses came down with sudden cases of "amnesia." Today, Persico schmoozes with Ponzi king Bernard Madoff behind bars. There, at age 84, his legend - packed as it is with coldblooded brutality - continues to inspire goodfellas everywhere. ungekürzt.

  Smuggler's Blues: A True Story of the Hippie Mafia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 651min

  Goodfellas meets Savages meets Catch Me If You Can in this true tale of high-stakes smuggling from pot's outlaw years. Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run, smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish. With cameos by Whitey Bulger and Norman Mailer, Smuggler's Blues tells Stratton's adventure while centering on his last years as he travels from New York to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley to source and smuggle high-grade hash in the midst of civil war, from the Caribbean to the backwoods of Maine, and from the Chelsea Hotel to the Plaza as his fortunes rise and fall. All the while he is being pursued by his nemesis, a philosophical DEA agent who respects him for his good business practices. A true-crime story that sounds like fiction, Smuggler's Blues is a psychedelic road trip through international drug smuggling, the hippie underground, and the war on weed. As Big Marijuana emerges, it brings to vivid life an important chapter in pot's cultural history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Stratton.

  Cash Landing: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 722min

  The New York Times best-selling author of Cane and Abe and Black Horizon blends Goodfellas and Elmore Leonard in this wild, suspenseful caper inspired by actual events, in which a band of amateur thieves pulls off one of the biggest airport heists in history with deadly consequences. Every week a hundred million dollars in cash arrives at Miami International Airport, shipped by German banks to the Federal Reserve. A select group of trusted workers moves the bags through customs and loads them into armored trucks. Ruban Betancourt has always played by the rules. But the bank taking his house and his restaurant business going bust has driven him over the edge. He and his wife deserve more than life has handed them, and he's come up with a ballsy scheme to get it. With the help of an airport insider, he; his cokehead brother-in-law, Jeffrey; and two ex-cons surprise the guards loading the armored trucks and speed off with $7.4 million in the bed of a pickup truck. Investigating the heist, FBI agent Andie Henning, newly transferred to Miami from Seattle, knows the best way to catch the thieves is to follow the money. Jeffrey's drug addiction is as conspicuous as the Rolex watches he buys for dancers at the Gold Rush strip club. One of the ex-cons, Pinky Perez, makes no secret of his plan to own a swinger's club - which will allow him carte blanche with his patrons' wives. Levelheaded Ruban is desperately trying to lay low and hold things together. But Agent Henning isn't the only one on their trail, and in the mob-meets-Miami fashion, these accidental thieves suddenly find themselves way in over their heads...and sinking fast. ungekürzt.

  Gangster: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 348min

  Love. Violence. Destiny. These powerful themes ricochet through Lorenzo Carcaterra's new novel like bullets from a machine gun. In Gangster, he surpasses even his best-selling Sleepers to create a brutal and brilliant American saga of murder, forgiveness, and redemption. Born in the midst of tragedy and violence and raised in the shadow of a shocking secret, young Angelo Vestieri chooses to flee both his past and his father to seek a second family: the criminals who preside over early 20th-century New York. In his bloody rise from soldier to mob boss, he encounters ever more barbaric betrayals - in friendship, in his brutal business, in love - yet simultaneously comes to understand the meaning of loyalty, the virtue of relationships, and gains a perspective on the lonely, if powerful, life he has chosen. As the years pass, as enemies are made and defeated, as wars are fought and won, the old don meets an abandoned boy who needs a parent as much as protection. By taking Gabe under his wing and teaching him everything he knows, Angelo Vestieri will learn, in the winter of his life, which is greater: his love for the boy he cherishes, or his need to be a gangster and to live by the savage rules he helped create. A sweeping panoramic with riveting characters, a unique understanding of the underworld philosophy, and a relentless pace, Gangster travels through the time of godfathers and goodfellas to our own world of suburban Sopranos. But this is more than just an authentic chronicle of crime. Setting a new standard for this acclaimed author, Gangster is a compassionate portrait of one man's fight against his fate - and an unforgettable epic of a family, a city, a century.

  Sonny (eBook, ePUB)

  "Couldn't put it down." -Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy (Goodfellas) and Casino The extraordinary life and times of a legendary crime boss who refused to squeal-but who finally agreed to talk to an award-winning New York Newsday reporter shortly before his death at age 103 . . . John "Sonny" Franzese reportedly committed his first murder at the age of fourteen. As a "made man" for the Colombo crime family, he operated out of his Long Island home specializing in racketeering, fraud, loansharking, and other illicit deeds he would deny to his dying day. His career in organized crime spanned over eight decades-and he was sentenced to fifty years in prison for robbery charges. But even behind bars, Sonny Franzese never stopped doing business . . . This is the true story of an old-school mafioso as it's never been told before. Newsday reporter S. J. Peddie interviewed Franzese in prison-and uncovered a lifetime of shocking secrets from the legend himself: * Why FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a very personal interest in Sonny. * How Sonny managed to juggle numerous affairs with women, including a famous model. * How Sonny spent a third of his life in prison-and still managed to earn untold millions for the mob. * How Sonny accidentally revealed some of his worst crimes-to a "friend" wearing a wire. Through it all, Franzese refused to break the Mafia's code of silence. Authorities believe he may have murdered, or ordered the murders of, forty to fifty people. Yet he earned a grudging respect from law enforcement and an absolute reverence from his fellow gangsters. Eventually he managed to outlive them all-until his death in 2020 of natural causes, a rare event in the Mafia. Thanks to a series of exclusive firsthand interviews, the astonishing life story of John "Sonny" Franzese can be told in all its bold, brutal, and blood-spattered glory. This is a must-read for anyone fascinated with Mafia history-and a rare look inside a criminal mind that has become the stuff of legend.
