Frankie Crooks, a down-to-earth Italian kid from Greenwich Village, is torn between two worlds . . . the mob and law enforcement. Both hold intrigue because he has a brother in each trying to convince him to follow in their footsteps. Frankie sees the humor in life at the most inappropriate moments as he vacillates between a life of crime and being a law-abiding citizen. With a first person tongue-in-cheek approach, Frankie's life unfolds as we follow him through his escapades that leave him running for his life, both from the law and the hands of his strict Italian mother. A mix between Catcher in the Rye and Analyze This, this book leaves readers wanting the 'bad' guy to win, while at the same time revealing what makes criminals tick. Loosely based on a true story, Frankie Crooks lets you know what it's like to be Almost a Wise Guy.

Are there alligators under New York City? Did the military take the lessons learned in the so-called "Philadelphia Experiment" of 1943 and apply the same technology at Montauk-to develop a weapon that would literally drive the enemy insane? Just who was the homeless man who walked a 365-mile route every thirty-four days, dressed in heavy leather? From the Lake Champlain monster to the friendly ghost hostess of Skene Manor, New York Myths and Legends makes history fun and pulls back the curtain on some of the Empire State's most fascinating stories.
