The way of all gangster flesh
The final four years of Prohibition saw over two hundred New York City
gangsters shot, garrotted, or stabbed to death with ice picks. Some
simply vanished never to be seen again. My new ebook: ON THE SPOT: Gangland Murders in Prohibition New York City 1930-1933 brings these murders back in full
detail. In addition to all of the bootleggers, drug dealers, gamblers
and other underworld sorts who were "bumped off", "taken for a ride",
and "put on the spot", the reader will learn about the victims of the
gang wars fought between Dutch Schultz and Vincent Coll, Waxey Gordon
and the Bugsy Seigel - Meyer Lansky mob, the Mafia's Castellammarese War
and the battle waged between Brooklyn's Shapiro Brothers and the boys
from Murder, Inc. Over two hundred gangland executions are discussed,
most for the first time since they occurred all those years ago.
