A daughter’s view of life inside a mob family

Linda Scarpa’s memoir places family life alongside the violence associated with her father, Gregory Scarpa Sr., a made member of the Colombo crime family. The contrast is central to the account: she recalls a father who spent time playing video games with her, while gradually learning why classmates kept their distance and confronting the harm tied to his criminal life. The book offers a personal perspective on growing up within organized crime, where private bonds and public fear coexist.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in memoirs about families affected by organized crime.
  • True-crime readers seeking a first-person account of life connected to the Colombo crime family.

Book overview

The world called him a killer. She called him Dad . . .

An intimate look at the real-life killer played by Mark Wahlberg in the film "By Any Means"

"We were always worried. Always looking over our shoulders . . ."

Linda Scarpa had the best toys, the nicest clothes, and a close-knit family. Yet classmates avoided her; boys wouldn't date her. Eventually, she learned why: They were afraid of her father.

A made man in the Colombo crime family, Gregory Scarpa, Sr., was a stone-cold killer nicknamed the "Grim Reaper." But to Linda, he was also a loving, devoted father who played video games with her for hours. In riveting detail, she reveals what it was like to grow up in the violent world of the mob and to come to grips with the truth about her father and the devastation he wrought.
