I like seeing people reading my books 📚; it's a pity he didn’t get an updated edition, it’s much better. I’m less keen on cops finding two guns and ammo nearby, according to the story in Journal de Montreal by @ericthibault.bsky.social, @felixseguin.bsky.social and @maxdelandqmi.bsky.social. 3/4

I knew Leo Rizzuto had read my book because we’d talked about it a bit, plus he sued me for a million bucks for things he didn’t like in it. (He lost. I paid nothing). What’s odd is the book on his table appears to be a rare first edition from 2006, nine years before the police raid. 😗 2/4

📚 In 2015, police in Montreal searched the home of Leonardo Rizzuto, son of dead Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto and an alleged replacement for his powerful dad. Lying on his kitchen table, police found a copy of my book on the Rizzuto clan, called The Sixth Family. You see it in the police photo below. 1/4

For those of you unfamiliar with actual American history, we tried to claim Canada twice and they whipped our ass on both occasions. If this dumb squib tries it again, I am rooting for what they call a hat trick in that game they play on skates with sticks.
