Synopsis

Giovanni's Ring is the story of "Giovanni Rocco," a New Jersey police officer, known undercover as "Giovanni Gatto," who was the mysterious agent at the epicenter of Operation Charlie Horse, a federal undercover operation that ultimately brought down ten members and associates of New Jersey's DeCavalcante Mafia family, the criminal organization known as "the real Sopranos." Giovanni spent nearly three years working his way into the DeCavalcante hierarchy. That lethal assignment brought the undercover operation to an end in March 2015, and the resulting string of high-profile arrests eviscerated the criminal organization. Giovanni's Ring is not simply a chronicle of Giovanni Rocco's adventures in the murky and dangerous Mafia world he inhabited, but also a fascinating window into the psychological struggles that such a life inevitably entails.

I read this book while doing research for my next novel titled "Mobbed Up" which gave me a real insight into organized crime. Knowing this is a true story only served to heighten my reading experience.......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on August 07, 2022

If you play GTA or Cyberpunk 2077, or watch any gangster movies, this nonfiction will be fascinating to you. This is real life. And real life people cannot be ‘loaded’ if they die. That’s the crux of the matter. Giovanni the cop went deep undercover all the way to become the right hand man of Charli......more
