The Boss in the Shadows: The Life and Death of Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli - Paperback

by Xavier Eboli (Author), Robert (Author)

This book is a series of stories and anecdotes about my father, Thomas (Tommy Ryan) Eboli and me, Xavier Eboli. I have crossed paths with many interesting characters throughout my life, most of them an extension of Dad's numerous relationships. I have met celebrities, crime bosses, and professional athletes. It was quite an interesting ride. There is no firsthand knowledge of violence or bloodshed that one may be accustomed to reading in other books about organized crime. This book is about a boss who kept his family and his Mafia family separate. He did not often take his work home with him. Although I may have overheard things over the years or picked up on subtle hints, he never discussed his daily routine. His children were naive as to who he was until we became adults and read about our dad in the newspaper. I think you'll find this book interesting, entertaining, and informative. Please enjoy our story.
