The Dons of Necropolis

The Book to buy! LI's own Richard Louis delivers a tale of organized crime and the funeral-home industry. The Dons of Necropolis is a 434-page look into the situation of Ricky Bianca, who has recently learned that his father's tragic suicide on Christmas Eve of 1966 may have actually been a murder. Plagued by nightmares of that night, Ricky comes back to New York and takes a job as a funeral director, so that he may be closer to the circumstances around his father's death. What he finds is a universe tainted with secret cults, Mafia strongmen and Russian assassins. Louis, who has served as a funeral director for over 28 years, is well-equipped with the knowledge to deliver such a chilling story with accuracy and detail. -- Long Island Press
