Local Reads Book Club will meet with Kasey Owens from T102 Radio to discuss The Quiet Don: The Untold Story of Mafia Kingpin Russell Bufalino by Matt Birkbeck.

Free event. All are welcome!

Book Summary:

A uniquely American saga that spans six decades, The Quiet Don follows Russell Bufalino’s remarkably quiet ascent from Sicilian immigrant to mob soldier to a man described by a United States Senate subcommittee in 1964 as “one of the most ruthless and powerful leaders of the Mafia in the United States.”

*Content warning - this book is about the mafia which means it naturally contains themes of violence and occasional strong language. It may not be suitable for younger readers, those who are sensitive to those topics, or anyone who identifies as an FBI informant.
