Mafia Kingfish

This book is an amazing, thorough dissection of Carlos Marcello and the JFK assassination. An even more amazing telling of the story behind Carlos in New Orleans and a vivid detailed description of the blunders of the infamous death of JFK.

John H. Davis doesn't leave a stone unturned, at least as far as Carlos Marcello's complicity in the assassination. If, after reading this book, you don't think Marcello played a part in this crime, ... This book puts you right into the world of Carlos Marcello, almost as though you were experiencing it with your own eyes. Also impressive was Davis' insight into the wacky world of the U.S. Government. In the years since this book was first published, it has been even further established from numerous informants that the actual shooters were three Corsican underworld hitmen from Marseille: Lucien Sarti, Francois Chiappe, and Jean-Paul Angeletti. ...

Cross referencing info in this book would make it possible to catch the real killers, it's just that accurate. You never want to put this one down!Even after you finish, you'll read it again. I read it all the time. And everytime I do I come across another important fact. This book would help the government find the killers, if in fact the government WANTED to find them.

I know most of the New Orleans players...Davis is very accurate in his text. If you never had the shrimp at Mosca's, or spent "Ladies Night" at Lenfant's, you would notz understand. "Who killa da chief?"

Having known the Marcello brothers and "others" mentioned in this book very well, it is obvious that Mr. Davis has done his "homework" beyond the "norm"!!! Extremely well written, factual and precise. Have provided many copies to mutual friends. Hoping to see re-print shortly, as I do not have a copy for myself any longer. Hard-cover version would be much more preferable. Outstanding book that I would recommend to anyone, whether or not, familiar with Marcello. Fascinating reading!!! A job "WELL DONE", Mr. Davis!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a native of New Orleans I can tell you that all the facts That I could verify about this book were true. It is a shame it is no longer published I wish they would print one more run!
