And They Were the Good Guys Ron Coffey

Although this is a work of fiction, it is based on fact. Joseph "Joey" Cartone was a minor league crook. Yet, this fictionalized story of his aspirations of joining a New Jersey mob family tells Joey's story as it might have been. Be careful what you wish for is an old adage Joey should have taken to heart. His obsession with becoming a member of the mafia family would be his ultimate undoing. Effectively he stuck his hand in a bed of snakes expecting not to be bitten.
