No one in that elegant Boston restaurant seemed to recognize the most feared mafia boss in New England when the hostess told him he had nowhere to sit on his birthday. But my six-year-old daughter did notice one thing everyone else ignored—he looked so completely abandoned that she offered him the empty chair at our table before I could stop her.

“Boss… you need to get away from that table. Now.”

Six hours before anyone expected me home, I walked into my Long Island mansion with a loaded gun under my coat, blood drying on my cuff, and the kind of reputation that made armed men lower their eyes when I entered a room.

At 11:42 P.M., every doctor in the room declared Chicago’s most feared mafia boss dead and covered his face with a white sheet. By midnight, his own men were already fighting over his billion-dollar empire, and the hospital staff had abandoned his body on a freezing steel table.
