Publisher's summary

You may have heard of the Five Families of the New York Mafia.

But have you heard of the Bruno-Scarfo family?

Mafia Library is back with a brand-new nonfiction crime book packed full of information about Philadelphia's criminal organization.

For over a century, the Bruno-Scarfo crime family reigned over Philadelphia before a series of internal and external events led to their downfall. Such was the power that the family possessed that they had close connections with the Five Families of the New York Mafia.

Sounds fascinating, right? If you want to know everything about the Bruno-Scarfo reign, then The Bruno-Scarfo Mafia Crime Family is an absolute must-listen. This book will teach you all you need to know about what the crime family was up to during their time in power, including illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion, and bootlegging throughout the prohibition era. It will cover ruthless leaders, internal wars, and leaders that ultimately turned into informants.

Inside The Bruno-Scarfo Mafia Crime Family, discover:

  • The early history of this feared and violent family
  • The powerful connections this family held
  • What events led to the first and second Philadelphia Mafia War
  • How the mob changed under different leadership
  • Which members of the family turned into informants

Regardless, if you love the history of organized crime or you are a general true-crime enthusiast, you don't want to miss this audiobook.

The Philly Mob

I like this book, it talked about the history and how the mafia got started in Philly. I like how it combines 10 books worth of information in one book.

Nostalgia 🥴

As a kid I remember a lot of these stories being printed in the daily news and still remember the pic of Angelo Bruno’s face. Very informative information and glad I purchased this.

WOW!

Great book! It is way better than Mafia Prince as it tells the story of a Philadelphia Mafia family and does not focus mainly on one person. Recommended.

FASCINATING

The material was intriguing and in-depth. It really delved into the history of the Pennsylvania Mafia, from Angelo Bruno's early days up to Nicky Scarfo and even present-day. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the "alley history" of the US.

Not much out there about Philly mob.

Always learn something new about the mafia. The narrator's voice fits excellent with the book.

Boring rehash of the same ole Philly mob story

Nothing new. If you read "Mafia Prince" or " Blood and Honor" then this book will just waste your time and money.

Headlines only, nothing in depth

If you’re going to publish an audiobook, learn the correct pronunciation of the names in the story.
This lightly brushes over the Philly scene. “Mafia Prince”seems to be the only source of the Philly scene in the heyday!
