The Pope of Brooklyn

Meer over het boek

The memoir explores the complex relationship between Joseph Di Prisco and his father, a notorious figure known as Pope, who navigated the criminal underworld of Brooklyn in the 50s and 60s. Di Prisco uncovers hidden truths about his father's life as a confidential informer and a key witness in high-stakes trials against corrupt police. This journey of discovery not only sheds light on Pope's dangerous past but also prompts deeper reflections on family secrets and identity, serving as both a sequel and prequel to Di Prisco's earlier work.
