About the Book
The inside story of the world's first all-female Mafia. Kristin Cates, a member of the La Femmina Woman's Mafia has disappeared, leaving behind an explosive manuscript documenting the true story of this powerful group of international lady mobsters. Kristin reveals the story of four charismatic women who rule a world class multi-billion dollar empire, their secrets, crimes and love affairs. Four colorful, diverse women rule a multi-billion dollar empire as pioneer members of the world's first female mafia, and become leaders in international crime. The LA FEMMINA MAFIA is a well organized crime syndicate founded and controlled by a group of charismatic women, which has been operating in our midst throughout several decades. As with the male Cosa Nostra, La Femmina Mafia members (LFM's) make their bones, take oaths of omertà and are organized into families of bosses, captains, lieutenants, and crews of soldiers. Chop shops, shylocking, and car theft rings thrive, as do financial capers, escort services, massage parlors, gambling dens, construction companies, porno rackets, casinos, drug distribution and more.New York's "Four Families" are ruled by: ebullient transplanted Texan TANIA CUTLER; LAURA LO BIANCO, daughter of a murdered Brooklyn mobster; the grasping VICTORIA WINTERS; and glamorous, seductive JASMINE SHIELDS - all ambitious women who will stop at nothing, raking in billions annually from their shadowy ventures. The book follows the criminal careers and love affairs of the four founding mothers.
