Re: Joey Merlino
Blood and Honor is an excellent book, one of the best written on the mob, if not the best, and essential to understanding the current Philly situation. 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.

Acts like a killer but never killed anyone.

Is he the guy who was a brokester living in the trailer park ?
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.

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

Re: Joey Merlino
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.Stroccos wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 6:01 amIs blood and honor worth reading ?
