The Crow is full of shit when it comes to murders. In Blood and Honor it is always "I was ready to kill him, I was about to shoot but Charlie White already did".

Acts like a killer but never killed anyone.
Is blood and honor worth reading ? Think about it
I am scared to pull the trigger doesn’t sell many books

Is he the guy who was a brokester living in the trailer park ?
Truly excellent read Stroccos. It was one of the first I read and read it again about 3 years ago. I prefer the Leonetti book for the tremendous insight into Scarfo.

Regardless of what one thinks of the Crow either, he carried his weight. I've seen this mentioned on the this or the old forum in the past, he may be a rat and he may have ended up living in a trailer but he was reporting directly to Scarfo when he was indicted for the Rouse extortion. You may get extra points on the internet for being the one who pulled the trigger first, but in the context of organized crime as a whole, Crow was a workhorse.
I like Leonetti's book better I think

Yeah he is the brokester lol

It is a very good book, just have to get past his over selling of him as a killer in every hit he talks about being involved in

Good book. Informative. The stories about Crow's
early career & selling tv's are funny. I wish there was a way we
could share books with other forum members. Pass
them around and have a book club.
