Books on mafia, serial killers, or hitmen
 

Does anyone have some recommendations for books about the mafia, serial killers, or hitmen. I have never read any book about any of these subjects, except some book I got when I visisted Alcatraz that had like 2 pages written about like 40 Alcatraz inmates. I really like stuff like this in movies though, and I like reading crimelibrary.com

Failing books, if anyone knows some really interesting stories at crimelibrary.com or other sites, feel free to link them =) I don't really know remember anyone's story but Al Capone's (but I haven't even heard it in a long time), so don't assume I already know about a subject.

I read Murder machine maybe nine years ago, and I liked it a lot at the time. Its about the gemini gang which was led by Gambino family Capo Roy Demeo. They used to chop up the people they killed and hide the body parts in different parts of the city. There are a lot of interesting characters in the book. Supposedly, the character named Dominic is the inspiration for Michael Corleone's character in the godfather. Also, Geena Davis makes a cameo as a coke user smitten with the mob crowd.

Read the book about Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinksi when it comes out in a couple of months.

True story and a must read. You will never look at the CIA the same. Written by the DEA's most decorated agent ever.

If it's still around, I really enjoyed "The Last Mafioso". It was a biography of Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno(sp?).

"Five Families" is pretty good
