Publisher's Synopsis

THE GABARDINE GANG: Power and Betrayal in Hartford's Mob Scene by Kevin B. DiBacco is a riveting tale of crime, family, and redemption in the gritty underworld of the 1950s and 1960s Hartford, Connecticut.


Geno DiBacco led the notorious Gabardine Gang, a small-time mob that ruled the city. Geno's son, Kevin, takes you on a visceral journey through his childhood and adolescence, revealing the gang's illegal activities, his father's dramatic descent, and the harsh realities of organized crime, offering a unique perspective on a world often glamorized in Hollywood.
