Jerry Capeci is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on the Mafia and organized crime. He covered the crime beat for both the
New York Daily News and the
New York Post (and was the only newspaperman to sneak his way into Carlo Gambino's funeral in 1976) for more than 20 years. He is the co-author of
Murder Machine, the terrifying saga of Roy DeMeo's bloodthirsty Mafia crew, and
Gotti: Rise & Fall. A native of the mean streets of Bath Beach, Brooklyn, he now lives in Manhattan.
Gene Mustain is the co-author of Murder Machine and the author of Mob Star.
