About the Book

Within the legendary 5 Families of N.Y. La Cosa Nostra, there is a SIXTH FAMILY- the crews of young men who take orders from the mafia soldiers. Once you're a made man, you don't do the dirty work no more. Now, orders are given to the 'associates' of the SIXTH FAMILY to carry out assaults, extortions, hijackings and even murders. This is the story of Frankie Russo's crew - Tony, Vinny, Jakey, Bruno and Fat Donnie, all in their mid-twenties and hungry to become made men and mobsters. Mob captain, Carlo Vitelli expects his Made Men, like Frankie Russo to give the crew their jobs and make sure things don't get screwed up. Carlo needs to stay off the radar of the FBI, so he's got to trust Frankie that his crew will be loyal. Unfortunately, the guys don't always get things right, but their blunders and attempts not to piss off Frankie cause amusing chaos as they do their hits, plan their robberies and even kidnap a soap opera star. On the other side of the law is Carmella Balducci, a prosecutor in the U.S Attorney's Office. She is determined to destroy Carlo Vitelli. Carmella has an informant from 'inside the family' who can bring down these powerful mobsters and get her the recognition she very much wants. Vinny, a member of the crew, narrates the book with snappy dialogue. Many touching moments within this gritty story endear us to these characters, whose violent yet comical web of revenge and deceit will have you both laughing as you cringe. As an accomplished filmmaker and author, Amoruso's incredibly engaging style, creates realistic characters, just like the guys from the 'old neighborhood' in Brooklyn where he grew up. As a kid, Amoruso would deliver sealed brown paper bags to a bookie filled with betting slips from the wise guys at the local 'social club'. Then they would tip him a few bucks and on occasion, bring him inside the club for a cold soda. Even as a kid, he watched and absorbed everything about these unique men - the way they spoke, dressed and acted - and it all comes out in THE SIXTH FAMILY.
About the Author: Marino Amoruso, an award-winning filmmaker and author, has written, directed and edited over 50 films for broadcast and cable networks.

THE SIXTH FAMILY - about the "crews" of young men that do the dirty work for the Mafia bosses. A gritty comedic story with great dialogue and riveting characters. MONROE CITY BLUES- a Brooklyn boy learns about baseball, prejudice and the harsh realities of life in 1960's Southern Georgia. THE LAST OUTLAW - a modern day NY reporter goes to New Mexico to uncover the truth about a legend. GIL HODGES: THE QUIET MAN - a revealing and personal view of Gil's life from his Indiana childhood to his legendary career as a baseball player and manager. Told by those who knew him best. BACK IN THE DAY: REFLECTIONS OF A BABY BOOMER - a collection of short stories; humorous and poignant views from a Baby Boomer. BEING ITALIAN: A Memoir - Amoruso's award-winning reflection of his life as an American-Italian Brooklyn boy, living with his immigrant family. AUNT PHIL GALLO'S COOKBOOK - a wonderful collection of Italian family recipes.
