John Gotti was without a doubt the flashiest and most feared Mafioso in American history. He became the boss of the Gambino Crime Family in spectacular fashion—with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Not one to stay below law enforcement’s radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss. His penchant for eye-catching apparel earned him the nickname “The Dapper Don;” his ability to beat criminal charges led to another: “The Teflon Don.”

Secrets of the Mob is a unique look at four of the most famous gangsters in US history.

For example: What did John Gotti like to eat besides Italian food, and how did he run his family? Who was Meyer Lansky’s mentor, and how much was Meyer worth? What did Al Capone wear, how much did his wardrobe cost, and who was his mentor? What were Paul Castellano's business secrets?

What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter.
