https://wildbluepress.com/presiding-over-shadows-crime-memoir-michael-randazzo/I am Judge Michael Randazzo, but by all odds, I never should have been. My story begins in a pop-up trailer-no electricity, no running water-born to parents who dropped out of high school and carried the weight of our family's excommunication from the Sicilian Mafia. I came into the world premature, delivered by a veterinarian, clinging to life while doctors warned I'd never catch up.Crime and tragedy run through my bloodline: moonshining, sexual abuse, attempted manslaughter. My father struck deals with the Mexican Cartel and still battles opioid addiction. Every member of my family has been both perpetrator and victim. Yet, somewhere between generational sin and the chance to start over, I clawed my way through law school. Today, I serve as one of Missouri's youngest Presiding Circuit Judges.This memoir is my confession and my exorcism. It's about the curse of inherited character flaws, the desperate hope to shield my children from them, and the heavy truth that even heroes-like my beloved Grandpa Nick-are deeply flawed. Each chapter opens a new door: from Grandpa Nick wrestling a grizzly bear to the darkest corners of family trauma, violence, and betrayal.What does it take to rise above a legacy of darkness? How do you reconcile love for those who did unspeakable things? My life is proof that the past shapes us-but it doesn't have to define us.

On a frigid winter night in early 1963, Rocco Anthony Balliro and a pair of associates stormed a darkened apartment on the outskirts of Boston and were immediately embroiled in a deadly shootout with several unseen assailants. Unbeknownst to Rocco at the time, the men who returned his fire were several Boston police officers, waiting in ambush for him. It was, as Rocco later described it, a hastily planned rescue mission that went downhill in a hurry. In the aftermath, his beloved girlfriend and her toddler son lay dead.https://wildbluepress.com/shots-in-the-dark-daniel-zimmerman-true-crime/

DEEPLY PERSPONAL AND VASTLY ENTERTAINING, PEE WEE GIVES US A FAST AND FURIOUS HOUR OF GREAT TRUE STORIES WITH PLENTY OF "F BOMBS" CONSIDER THIS BETWEEN PG-13 AND SOFT R :-)Pee Wee says:This is a true-life description of the events in my life... as a man, father, husband, wrestler, boxer, greaser, Sinners Motorcycle Club member, and, of course, a full patch member of the notorious Hells Angels. I lived the life of a real deal leader in several different chapters of the Angels. And I always lived up to what I thought was the true meaning of "Brotherhood" as best I could. But the ideals I had eventually came crashing down as my expectations of many of the members of infamous outlaw biker club (and other clubs, too) were not the same as mine. That's why I eventually had to leave the Angels behind and quit that lifestyle. I saw that the ideals of '"brotherhood" were just words to many, with no real meaning backing them up. There's no disrespect intended to anyone associated with this club, or any of the other clubs mentioned in the pages of this book. To this day, I still maintain many great friendships with brothers from the Angels as well as the other clubs I've been associated with.
