Confessions of a Dead Man
By Michael Pescione
Order this Book
|  |
Young Michael Dellarosa came of age in the 1970’s in the dark and edgy world of the New York Mafia. Surrounded as he was by wiseguys, his cynical and rebellious nature was fed, honed, and ignited.
Beginning as a low-level runner, Dellarosa was a first-rate student—studying and mastering the intricate and deadly chess game played out daily in the streets—often with brutal and bloody consequences.
Author Michael Pescione’s gritty novel takes readers deep into the terrifying realms of old-school Mafia. This is the stuff of long-held secrets and even longer held vendettas. Pescione keeps the tension in high gear as his protagonist comes face-to-face with the level of commitment of a true made man who plots his course for murder. When Dellarosa ends up doing time in one of the most dangerous prisons in the country, Pescione gives readers a rare view of the level of corruption that marries state government to the mob.
Confessions of a Dead Man holds nothing back. Pescione’s first-person narrative brings the reader chillingly close to killers who kill without ever lifting a finger, leavng no footprints—people who like to get down real close and breath the last breath of a dying man as if it were their own. His style rings true, as if Dellarosa was someone you’ve known forever.
