By Paul S. Meskil. "The true story of the most feared, hunted and hated man in the underworld." This Daily News blurb is like a parody of movie-review poster snippets, too, but the point is that "Joe Fish" Luparelli "failed to kill mobster Joey Gallo," refused to kill his own wife, and turned state's witness to save both their lives. Although it...seems like he DID kill Gallo, or wanted it known that he had?
Weird floating-head cover art aside, this rare paperback is in okay, not great, shape: edgewear and creasing to the covers; a faded spine, which is also cracked and leans forward a bit; very toned pages; stamps and notes on the flyleaves from a previous stop. But it’ll get the job done as a reading or research copy.
