What People are saying about Joe Bruno's Mobster Books ANOTHER
HISTORY LESSON - I love Joe Bruno's books. I always say that he's
the NYC true crime historian. NYC has had its share of murder and
corruption over the past couple of centuries and the author is a
wealth of knowledge about it. A must read for any true crime book
collector. - RJ Parker - Best Selling Author of True Crime Books
TRUE CRIME AT ITS BEST - Joe Bruno has a way of giving real light
into his mob stories. His easy writing style pulls you in, and his
no BS attitude allows you as a reader to get the full story not
just what he chooses to share. There is so much real life history
in these books. His books are especially edge of your seat
interesting. They are mind blowing, really. I would highly
recommend you pick up a copy of one of his books. You'll see what I
am talking about. - Brenda Perlin - Adult Contemporary Fiction

A gritty and compelling account of an elite police group, the
Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad (MEOCS). Middle Eastern
organised crime in Australia is a dark, dirty and dangerous world
of drug empires, murders and turf wars. Crime families dominate the
suburbs and the streets are a labyrinth of dealers. Responsible for
cleaning up this mess is the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad
(MEOCS), a specialist unit of cops fighting an uphill battle
against a deeply entrenched problem. The officers of the MEOCS are
both fearsome and intimidating. They have to be, to deal with the
rising violence, brutal mayhem and sheer brazen scope of the crime
that they see every day. Written by an award-winning crime
reporter, The Squad trails a core group of MEOCS detectives on
their journey into the Sydney's Middle Eastern organised crime
fraternity and takes readers inside the inner-workings of their
biggest investigations - the wired-up informants, the undercover
agents, the ingenious tactics and electrifying near-misses. Gritty,
compelling and unputdownable.
Rick Wakeman: "There have always been certain 'careers' that have
fascinated the public, newspapers, and the media in general. Such
include musicians, actors, sportsmen, police, and not surprisingly,
the people who give the police their employment: The criminal. For
the man in the street, all these careers have one thing in common:
they are seemingly beyond both his reach and, in many cases,
understanding and as such, his only association can be through the
media of newspapers or television. The police, however, will always
require the services of the grass, the squealer, the snitch, (call
him what you will), in order to assist in their investigations and
arrests; and amazingly, this is the area that seldom gets written
about."
