About this ebook
"The inside story of a single Brooklyn gang that killed more Americans than the Iraqi army."—Mike McAlary, columnist, New York Post
They were the DeMeo gang—the most deadly hit men in organized crime. Their Mafia higher-ups came to know, use, and ultimately fear them as the Murder Machine. They killed for profit and for pleasure, following cold-blooded plans and wild whims, from the mean streets of New York to the Florida Gold Coast, and from coast to coast.
Now complete with personal revelations of one of the key players, this is the savage story that leaves no corpse unturned in its terrifying telling.

A chilling look at the most murderous crew in La Cosa Nostra's history. That reportedly killed over 150 people. The DeMeo Crew were so adept at killing people, that their method of disposing a body by draining the blood, and severing the limbs in delicate fashion, became a staple in the art of murder. The book can be disturbing, as it holds nothing back -- it functions like a horror novel at times. Dominick Montiglio is a tragic and compelling protagonist who acts as our moral compass through the violence, thievery, debauchery and cold-blooded murder that runs rampant throughout the book. Hopefully someday a competent team of filmmakers brings this story to life, as Martin Scorsese did with a very similar based-on-a-true-story book, Goodfellas. Murder Machine has 'movie/miniseries' written all over it.
