Volume 2 of 2.
DiCarlo: Buffalo's First Family of Crime is the historical biography of Mafioso Joseph J. DiCarlo, once known as “the Al Capone of Buffalo” and as western New York's “Public Enemy No. 1.”

Son of the region's first known Sicilian underworld boss, DiCarlo was rejected as heir to his father's criminal empire. After spending troubled years as a vassal of the influential Stefano Magaddino, DiCarlo and his underlings wandered, seeking their fortunes in Youngstown, Ohio, and Miami Beach, Florida, before returning home to witness the bloody disintegration of western New York's Mafia organization.

The authors utilize DiCarlo's colorful and violent life story as a window into the history of the powerful Magaddino Crime Family and the American Mafia network, while chronicling the parallels between the life of DiCarlo and the history of the criminal organization that was founded by his father.

In two volumes, DiCarlo: Buffalo's First Family of Crime chronicles a century of DiCarlo family history and related developments in the American Mafia organized crime network. Volume I covered the period from DiCarlo family origins in Sicily through the events of 1937. This volume focuses on the period 1938 to 1984 and includes an epilogue describing events as recent as 2012.

“This is, truly, the definitive piece about the Buffalo Mafia... An important historical chronicle of organized crime in Western New York.”
- Lee Coppola, award-winning Buffalo journalist, former federal prosecutor, retired dean of St. Bonaventure University School of Journalism.

“DiCarlo is one of the best-researched mob biographies I've read. The book is not only an in-depth look at the life of an often-overlooked mob kingpin, but a compelling history of the rise and fall of the Mafia in Buffalo. Thomas Hunt and Michael Tona delve deep into the interlocking web of crime family cooperation across the United States and show how Joe DiCarlo played a pivotal role in elevating the Mafia to the dominant organized crime group in America.”
- Scott Deitche, author of The Silent Don, Cigar City Mafia, Rogue Mobster and The Everything Mafia Book.

“An exciting and highly detailed work on the birth and evolution of organized crime in Upstate New York. Comprehensive and carefully researched, Thomas Hunt and Michael Tona deliver a highly readable account of the Mafia in Buffalo and beyond.”
- Patrick Downey, author of Legs Diamond: Gangster, Gangster City and Bad Seeds in the Big Apple.
