About this ebook
Anthony Carfano, aka Little Augie Pisano, died on the streets of Astoria Heights, Queens on September 26, 1959. He was accompanied by Janice Drake, a former Miss New Jersey, who was married to comedian Allan Drake. Some four years later the murders remained unsolved. Little Augie had grown up with Al Capone in New York and later was a well known gangster in Brooklyn. The year before his death Carfano was instrumental in a major facelift/improvement that was given to Yonkers Raceway. A subsidiary company owned by the mobster and his brother, August, was awarded the Yonkers' remodeling job in early 1958. Additional improvements, i.e. plastering jobs, etc., were awarded to other Mafia figures, most of them affiliated with the Genovese crime family like Little Augie Pisano.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have no read this. However on Page One, free review, there are two major errors, so I'm picking the rest of the story is probably not worth bothering with. The author should check date and location of shooting.

Also murdered was Janice Drake (1927-1959), 32, the married wife of comedian Allan Drake. Carfano and Janice were shot from the rear of Carfano’s stylish 1959 Cadillac.

The car was headed south on 94th Street, a main traffic artery near 24th Avenue.
