Book Description
Hurricane Katrina changed young Cresette ‘Cree’ Leblanc’s life forever. She was raised by Mrs. Wilma, the baby sitter that her mother left her with thirteen years prior to the storm. Cree was Mrs. Wilma’s pride and joy, she couldn't have kids and thought of her as a gift from God. When the storm hit, everyone was asked to evacuate. Cree was loaded on a bus without Mrs. Wilma but expected to catch up with her once they arrived to the new destination. To her devastation, Mrs. Wilma was not there. After being separated from the only family she ever knew and in a strange location she hooked up with Jerome Bishop. Bishop was the ultimate King of the Streets. Everyone, from the men and women in the hood up to the President of the United States, knew and respected him. He was a business owner by day and a notorious drug dealer by night. He used his business as a front for his illegal operations. Cree falls for Bishop instantly. He played the role as a mentor for some time but once she was done following her dreams, he vowed to make Cree all his. She was just the ambitious go-getter that he wanted for his team. The economy had the streets shook. Money wasn’t the same, not to mention his rivals, twin brothers Marco and Keco, were hot on his ass to try and take him down to take over what he had built. Bishop solicits Cree to help him get back on the money train but his request could cost her everything from her job down to her freedom. Cree is all in, she feels like she owns Bishop her life and she has a hustle mentality that has developed over the years. But above all, she knows she has to pay the cost to ride with the Boss.

Book Description
The third and final installment in Mario Puzo's epic chronicle of the Corleone crime family—one of the most enduring lineages in American literature and cinema—achieves a stunning crescendo with a story that imagines the role of the Mafia in the assassination of a young, charismatic president. In The Godfather's Revenge—authorized by the Puzo Estate—Mark Winegardner moves the Corleone family onto the biggest stage of all: the intersection of organized crime and national politics. A subordinate to Michael Corleone, New Orleans underboss Carlo Tramonti is publicly humiliated when the US Attorney General—President Danny Shea's brother—has him arrested and deported to Colombia. Tramonti eventually returns, hell-bent on settling scores, and triggers a series of events destined to change the course of American history. Corleone, though haunted by the death of his brother Fredo, knows that this is no time for weakness—and so, with fearless consigliere Tom Hagen leading the way, a new path for the future is forged. As the dramatic twists of The Godfather's Revenge take the reader from Las Vegas to Miami to New Orleans, from the power alleys of Washington, DC, to the remote jungles of Colombia, the puppet master behind the curtain remains Michael Corleone, the tortured prodigal son who is determined to redefine his family's legacy and make his father—the original Godfather—proud.

Book Description
“At least as good as Mario Puzo, with shades of David Mamet or even Arthur Miller.”—New York Daily News Paul Castellano headed New York’s immensely powerful Gambino crime family for more than ten years. On December 16, 1985, he was gunned down in a spectacular shooting on Manhattan's fashionable East Side. At the time of his death, Paul Castellano was under indictment. So were most of the major Mafia figures in New York. Why? Because in 1983 the FBI had hidden a microphone in the kitchen of Castellano's Staten Island mansion. The 600 hours of recorndings led to eight criminal trials. And this book. Agents Joe O’Brien and Andris Kurins planted that mike. They listened to the voices. Now they bring you the most revealing look inside the Mafia ever . . . in the Mafia’s own words. “Beautifully done, not only strange and fascinating but even touching.”—Robert Daley, author of Prince of the City

Book Description
This is the compelling yet disturbing story of Corbett Mack (1892-1974), an opiate addict who was a member of the Nuumuu (Numa), or Northern Paiute. The Northern Paiute are best known as the people who produced Wovoka, the Ghost Dance prophet whose revitalistic teachings swept the Indian world in the 1890s. Mack is from the generation following the collapse of the Ghost Dance religion, a generation of Nomogweta or "half-breeds" (also called "stolen children")-Paiute of mixed ancestry who were raised in an increasingly bicultural world and who fell into virtual peonage to white (often Italian) potato farmers. Around the turn of the century, the use of opium became widespread among the Paiute, adopted from equally victimized Chinese laborers with whom they worked closely in the fields. The story of Corbett Mack is an uncompromising account of a harsh and sometimes traumatic life that was typical of an entire generation of Paiute. It was a life born out of the turmoil and humiliation of an Indian boarding school, troubled by opiate addiction, bound to constant labor in the fields, yet nonetheless made meaningful through the perseverance of Paiute cultural traditions. Michael Hittman is chairman of the Anthropology and Sociology Department and a professor at Long Island University, Brooklyn. He is the author of Wovoka and the Ghost Dance: A Sourcebook and A Numa History: The Yerington Paiute Tribe.
