About this listen
Mafia Prince is the first-person account of one of the most violent eras in Mafia history - "Little" Nicky Scarfo’s reign as boss of the Philly family in the 1980s - written by Scarfo’s underboss and nephew, "Crazy" Phil Leonetti.
The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 31, Leonetti was at the crux of the violent downfall of the traditional American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state’s evidence against his own. His testimony directly led to the convictions of dozens of high-ranking made men including John Gotti, Vincent Gigante, and his own uncle, Nicky Scarfo - sparking the beginning of the end of La Cosa Nostra.
Just as The Godfather and Boardwalk Empire defined the early 20th century Mafia, and Wiseguy and Casino depicted the next great era through the ’70s, Mafia Prince concludes this epic genre revealing the Mafia’s violent final heyday of the 1980s straight from the horse’s mouth.

One of the best books
Well written, well read. One of the best books I've even listened to! Excellent story timeline, and narration!! Highly, highly recommended! One of the best mafia books to keep you on suspense from the first line to the end of the book. Not many other books have the same 'charm' and plot as this one. Excellent!!

This is a Great Listen! Real-Life Sopranos!
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Mafia Prince, considering I bought it on a whim. The narrator is fantastic and having some bits done by Phil himself was great. I really felt like I was in the story and got a feel for what it was like to work in La Cosa Nostra. Make sure to like my review, because if you don't, you'll get this *makes the shape of a gun with thumb and index finger*!

Very Interesting
First heard of the Philly mob on a Bill Kurtis documentary. Very engaging story by Leonetti and Scott Burnstein. LJ Ganser is amazing as the voice actor/narrator.

just a bunch of name dropping
The reader is great, but the story is very convoluted with name dropping throughout the book.
