“The fascinating story of the 1963 deaths of Boston mobster Rocco Balliro’s girlfriend and her son in a police shootout . . . a real page-turner.”—Dennis N. Griffin, bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of a “Casino” Mobster
On a frigid winter night in early 1963, Rocco Anthony Balliro and a pair of associates stormed a darkened apartment on the outskirts of Boston and were immediately embroiled in a deadly shootout with several unseen assailants. Unbeknownst to Rocco at the time, the men who returned his fire were several Boston police officers, waiting in ambush for him. It was, as Rocco later described it, a hastily planned rescue mission that went downhill in a hurry. In the aftermath, his beloved girlfriend and her toddler son lay dead.
“Author Daniel Zimmerman, the woman’s nephew, was granted exclusive access to Balliro in prison and met with him over the course of 2 years to hear his side of the story. This book, which chronicles the events of that night, Balliro’s trial, and his attempt to clear his name is a true crime story with a local twist.”—Patch

商品の説明
著者について
Over the past eighteen years, first-time author Daniel Zimmerman has written nearly six hundred columns as a stringer for GateHouse Media, a United States publisher of daily and weekly newspapers. While only a toddler during the events in 1963, Zimmerman grew up with knowledge of the shooting: the victims, Toby and Mark Wagner, were his aunt and cousin. Years ago, he was granted exclusive access to Rocco Anthony Balliro and met with him in prison over a two-year span to hear his story and conduct in-depth interviews. Zimmerman became so close with the Balliro family that when Rocco passed away, he was asked to present a eulogy at the service. Zimmerman lives with his wife of thirty-three years on the North Shore of Boston, and has one daughter who added a pair of grandchildren to their family. --このテキストは、paperback版に関連付けられています。

Couldn't put it down!!!
2019年3月18日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
With living in Boston my whole life, I must say, I've read lots and lots of books and there's nothing worse than a book based in Boston and not even be close to accurate! Dan's Zimmerman's book was spot on with locations and descriptions!!!! I was told about the book by a co-worker so I ordered it and once it arrived I could not put it down. It only took me 2 days to read it (that's working days). The story was just before my time but my parents and older brothers lived within blocks of where the shooting happened in Roxbury. My father was a Boston Police Detective for 34 years and I only wish the book was out years ago so that I could've hounded him with questions. Dan Zimmerman didn't leave me with any questions, it just opened some more curiosity about that era. With the writing of this book your right there living with them, on the edge of your seat with every attempt at an escape or robbery. Dan Zimmerman showed that some people who live in the criminal world still have a heart and love and care. To think Rocco Balliro was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and his own heart ache over losing the love of his life was heart wrenching, when in today's world I would hope to think first, the shooting never would've taken place and and second Rocco would never have been found guilty of a crime he didn't commit!!! I highly recommend this book and have recommended it to many of my family and friends!! Well done Dan Zimmerman, I hope you have a second book ready to be published. Your right up there now with my other favorite Authors

As an author of true crime in the Boston area in the 1970's I found this an amazing account of the life of Rocco Balliro. Well written and a true page turner. I recognized all the names of the mobsters and knew every place mentioned in the book. As a former state cop and having interviewed several bad guys it was easy to relate to Rocco's dilemma. I found this account well researched and documented. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in true crime books.

Truly enjoyed this true crime drama.

Anybody who is a fan of true crime and particularly the history of Boston’s sometimes dark underside will devour this book. The saga of Rocco Balliro unfolds like a compelling Greek tragedy. Mr. Zimmerman brings the reader back to a time when men who wound up on the wrong side of the law often still held a level of honor and distinction. He takes a candid look at a distorted criminal justice system that sometimes could be more culpable than the defendants who shuffled through it. Mr. Zimmerman takes a deep dive of Rocco’s world and the final product is fascinating.

Outstanding real-life page turner

This is a meticulously researched, elegantly written real-life story of a low-level Boston hood in the late fifties early sixties. Dan has wonderfully captured the world of Rocco Balliro - the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is a must read for anyone interested in a novel of true crime and the human side of the criminal.
