Publisher's Synopsis
Duane "Matthew 'the madman'" Rasey lived a life straight out of the movies. Fans of mob stories like The Godfather, Good Fellas, or The Sopranos would swear portions of his story inspired or were inspired by legendary Cosa Nostra fiction. But while his story shares all the excitement of cinema, the truth is a much rawer and more rounded tale. Rasey stresses that while TV shows suggest living life in organized crime is a choice, for some, it is often seen as the only option-a choice born in desperation. Not without its perks, access to beautiful women, fast cars, and stacks of cash may nonetheless fail to outweigh the danger, stress, and failed relationships too often part of a mobster's life.
Follow Matthew as he emerges from a childhood defined by cruelty, embarks on a career chosen for lack of better options, and ultimately finds life beyond the Mob in a story that will have you wiping away tears one minute and laughing out loud the next. Wiseguy to Writer: How I survived the Mob will take you on a journey that will at times thrill, repulse, enrage, cause you to reflect, and even touch your heart.
