About this ebook
Five boys grow up poor. One's killed, one becomes a cop, two join the Mafia and kill the fifth boy. The cop struggles financially and accepts favors.
Frankie and Phil Fasino, and Carlo Cardoni grew up together in a poor Italian neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey, during the Depression and World War II. Times were terrible, and for them stealing was a way of life. The brothers, Frankie and Phil, end up working for the Mafia while their childhood friend Carlo joins the Army Air Force.
While Carlo is in the military, the brothers become wise guys and unscrupulous businessmen. After four years of service, Carlo pursues life as a police officer to get away from the criminal element of his old buddies, or so he thought. However, using the problems of his everyday life, Carlo accepts favors from his past friends and their caporegime. Favors that he knows must someday be repaid.
Frankie and Phil's old buddies continually try to talk him into leaving the New Jersey police force and joining them, but he is committed to his wife and children and being a police officer. Once again, he tries to get away from their influence. He moves to California and joins the Los Angeles police force. But a few years later, his friends moved their criminal activities to San Diego. Carlo learns they are there and again begins accepting favors from them.
The time comes for Carlo to honor his commitment. His friend Frankie informs him of how the Family expects him to repay their favors. Carlo knows he must do as asked and agrees to participate in the proposed crime. But things go awry, and the police arrest him; he ends up in jail. The caporegime pays off the judge, and Carlo goes free. Now he is faced with a significant decision and decides to join the Family.
