MOORE, ROBIN with FUCA, BARBARA Mafia wife.
New York Macmillan Publishing Co. 1977 0025861808 / 9780025861800 Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
190 pages, cloth, dj, very good. Second printing. From the dj: In the wake of the phenomenal success of "The French Connection," author Robin Moore was contacted by the wife of the man who took the rap in that case. Her name: Barbara Fuca. Her story: Moore had gotten the facts of "The French Connection" all wrong because he'd never heard the Mafia side of it. The result: "Mafia Wife" -- an insider's story that rips the lid off the multi-million-dollar heroin bust that made national headlines and an intimate look at what really happens to women who belong to the Mob. Barbara married Pasquale (Patsy) Fuca, nephew and designated heir of a powerful Mafioso, Ange Tuminaro. Patsy was at the very center of the French Connection heroin network, and when the network was busted by the narcs, it was Patsy, set up as the fall guy - and Barbara - who took the rap. Here, for the first time is the real story of the French Connection: not the one that Detectives Grosso and Egan gave to the D.A., Robin Moore, and the Hollywood producer.
