A Guide to Gangsters, Murderers & Weirdos of New York City's Lower East Side

Eric Ferrara
Format: paperback

Ferrara walks us through the seamy underbelly of lower Manhattan, revealing the fascinating, surprising, and just plain grisly history of the criminals and oddballs who lived in this neighborhood. Trace the steps of gangster legends like "Lucky" Luciano, Meyer Lansky and "Bugsy" Siegel -- who all grew up and earned their criminal stripes on these streets -- and explore the violence and tragedies which affected those living in the chaotic swirl of the slums.
