Meet the men who murdered for the mob&mdash and made John Gotti the most powerful and deadly crime boss in America . . . They called him the &ldquo Teflon Don.&rdquo But in his short reign as the head of the Gambino crime family, John Gotti wracked up a lifetime of charges from gambling, extortion, and tax evasion to racketeering, conspiracy, and five convictions of murder. He didn&rsquo t do it alone. Surrounding himself with a rogues gallery of contract killers, fixers, and enforcers, he built one of the richest, most powerful crime empires in modern history. Who were these men? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside Gotti&rsquo s inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti&rsquo s Boys . . . * Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob&mdash by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels. * Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring&mdash enraging his bosses in the Gambino family. * Angelo &ldquo Quack-Quack&rdquo Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI&mdash and dared to insult Gotti behind his back. * Tony &ldquo Roach&rdquo Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach&mdash and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies. * &ldquo Sammy the Bull&rdquo Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano&mdash then sang like a canary to take Gotti down. Rounding out this nefarious group were the likes of Frank DeCicco, Vincent Artuso, and Joe &ldquo The German&rdquo Watts, a man who wasn&rsquo t a Mafiosi but had all of the power and prestige of one in John Gotti&rsquo s slaughterhouse crew. Gotti&rsquo s Boys is a killer line-up of the crime-hardened mob soldiers who killed at their ruthless leader&rsquo s merciless bidding&mdash brought to vivid life by the prize-winning chronicler of the American mob.
