Summary of Gene Mustain & Jerry Capeci's Murder Machine - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Dominick's father, Anthony Santamaria, was a popular boy from the neighborhood who served in the Army Air Corps and fell in love with his mother after coming home a hero from the war. When Dominick began showing some athletic ability, his father told him that he would prefer living with him, but it was impossible so long as it meant living with Uncle Nino. #2 Nino Gaggi, the third and last child of Angelo and Mary Gaggi, was born in 1925.
He had a strong will and a lot of anger to match it. He attended public school first three grades, then transferred to the parish school behind the church across from his home. #3 Nino was raised in the mob-run neighborhood of Alphabet City. He developed a deep resentment towards the police, and he often mimicked the gangsters he saw on the street. He wanted to be like Frank Scalise and die on the street with a gun in his hand. #4 Nino was not like his siblings, who had tried to go to high school.
He had tried to enlist in the Army in 1942, but was rejected because he was nearsighted. He then worked for a truck dock in Brooklyn, and within hardly any time, he was a supervisor.
