Nicholas Parisi
About the Author
Born in West Springfield, Massachusetts, Nick grew up surrounded by the real-life legends of organized crime. He didn’t just study “The Families,” he knew them. The names in his books aren’t just subjects; they were family, friends, rivals, and mentors.
After relocating to California, Nick took a hard turn into the outlaw world, patching into one of the most notorious 1% motorcycle clubs in the nation. He didn’t just ride, he climbed, eventually becoming a national officer and living the life most true crime writers only imagine.
Today, when he’s not at the keyboard peeling back the layers of North America’s criminal underworld, you’ll find him on a golf course, fly fishing remote rivers, playing cards at a poker table, or chasing new stories across the globe.
Parisi writes what he’s lived, and he’s lived what most wouldn’t dare.
The Organized Crime Series: Power. Loyalty. Betrayal. The Brutal Truth About Organized Crime.
A hard-hitting true crime collection that exposes the rise, power, and bloody downfall of the most notorious underworld empires.
Mafia Confession: King of Bootleggers Murder — a gripping account of the Prohibition-era underworld, where bootlegging, bloodshed, and betrayal forged the foundations of modern organized crime.
City of Betrayal: The Genovese Family’s Springfield Crew — an inside look at one of New England’s most feared Mafia crews, uncovering their rackets, alliances, and the betrayals that would bring them down.
Outlaw Bikers and the Mob: The Bloody Pact Between the Hells Angels and the Rizzuto Crime Family — the explosive story of a brotherhood forged in blood, where the Sicilian Mafia and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club joined forces to dominate Montreal’s underworld, only to collapse in a storm of violence and betrayal.
Together, these volumes form a sweeping portrait of organized crime across decades: how empires were built through violence and secrecy, how loyalty was tested in the shadows, and how law enforcement’s relentless pursuit exposed cracks in even the most powerful families.
Blending investigative depth with vivid, street-level storytelling, The Organized Crime Series takes readers behind the headlines and into the hidden world of mob bosses, outlaw bikers, soldiers, and crews whose crimes shaped history.
