Mr. New Orleans

Wiseguys called him "The Keith Richards of the American Mafia" and JFK hero Jim Garrison denounced him as "one of the most notorious vice operators in the history of New Orleans" - but you can just call him Mr. New Orleans, baby. For over fifty years, Frenchy Brouillette has been on a sex, drugs, and rock 'n'roll bender that has made him the most notorious party animal and Cajun gangster in all of Louisiana folklore. As the sex rackets chief for such legendary Mafia godfathers as Frank Costello, Silvestro "Silver Dollar Sam" Carollo, and Carlos Marcello, Frenchy is the first gangster ever to break the code of secrecy in the New Orleans Mafia and share the shocking true story of America's most mysterious crime family. On everything from the Kennedy assassination to the imprisonment of his cousin and benefactor, four-term Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards, Frenchy Brouillette has the dirt that will rewrite the history of the modern American underworld.
