Carlos Marcello was named the prime suspect in the assassination of JFK. John Davis tells Marcello's whole sinister story for the first time: from his roots in Sicily in the early 1900s, through his violent apprenticeship in the New Orleans Mafia to his reign over a $2-billion-per-year criminal empire.

This review is from: Mafia Kingfish: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy (Paperback)
John H. Davis doesn't leave a stone unturned, at least as far as Carlos Marcello's complicity in the assassination. If, after reading this book, you don't think Marcello played a part in this crime, ... This book puts you right into the world of Carlos Marcello, almost as though you were experiencing it with your own eyes. Also impressive was Davis' insight into the wacky world of the U.S. Government. In the years since this book was first published, it has been even further established from numerous informants that the actual shooters were three Corsican underworld hitmen from Marseille: Lucien Sarti, Francois Chiappe, and Jean-Paul Angeletti. ...

THE MOST DEFINITIVE WORK ON CARLOS MARCELLO,

This review is from: Mafia Kingfish: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy (Paperback)
Having known the Marcello brothers and "others" mentioned in this book very well, it is obvious that Mr. Davis has done his "homework" beyond the "norm"!!! Extremely well written, factual and precise. Have provided many copies to mutual friends. Hoping to see re-print shortly, as I do not have a copy for myself any longer. Hard-cover version would be much more preferable. Outstanding book that I would recommend to anyone, whether or not, familiar with Marcello. Fascinating reading!!! A job "WELL DONE", Mr. Davis!!!!!!!!!!!!!
