The complete history on the Genovese New England crews, Big Nose Sam Cufari and Frank Iaconi.
The Complete history of the Genovese crews in Florida would be different.
The history of the Numbers racket in New York. (Would love T.J English to do a splinter prequel to The Corporation, which is a continuation of Havana Nocturne but starts in New York during the mid-60's.)
There's a Springfield based book coming out this year I believe.
While I dont think there is enough material just to concentrate on Genovese FL crews, a more thorough history of South Florida organized crime would be very interesting. Maybe a future project...
Yes! The NYC numbers racket would make a great story, esp with the wide variety of ethnic crime groups involved. Also, more info on Spanish Raymond.
Scott please do the Florida book hahaha. I got your New Jersey book on audio, very well put together.
I am researching and toying with the idea of doing something on the Numbers Racket myself. It's a daunting task.
But keeping with the question, I would be interested in the court documents and more details on the Commission case.
A complete history of the West Side from the late teens until Gigante's death would be a fascinating read. I'm also not too sure that the general public realize that the Genovese Family is Lucky Luciano's organization.
I also agree on the updated Al Capone piece.
Maybe a fact based, myth busting, unbiased potrayal of Joe Bonanno. Without the actual Bonannos painting a positive spin or an ill-informed generic narrative. Putting Joe and Bill's words with the new findings and what they "forgot to mention".
Something that focuses more on the rise and reign of Angelo Bruno and not just footnotes leading up to his demise.
