Overview
Petey Chops wasnāt kicking up. And if he didnāt start soon, he was going to get whacked.
So begins the extraordinary true story of an undercover FBI agentās years-long investigation of the Gambinos, resulting in a string of arrests that crippled the organized crime family.
But long before Joaquin āJackā Garcia found himself wearing a wire with some of the Mafiaās top capos, he was one of the FBIās unlikeliest recruits. A Cuban-born American, Jack graduated from Quantico standing six-foot-four and weighing 300 pounds, which soon proved to be an asset as the FBI looked to place agents undercover with drug smugglers, counterfeiters, and even killers.
Using a series of carefully created aliases, Jack insinuated himself in the criminal world, from the Badlands of Philadelphia, where he was a gregarious money launderer, to the streets of Miami, where an undercover Garcia moved stolen and illicit goods and brought down dirty cops. But his biggest opportunity came when he infiltrated the shadowy world of La Cosa Nostra, but how would the Cuban American convince wiseguys that he was one of their own?
For the first time, the FBI created a special āmob schoolā for Jack, teaching him how to eat, talk, and think like a wiseguy. And it wasnāt long before the freshly minted Jack Falcone found himself under the wing of one of the Gambinosā old school capos, Greg DePalma. DePalma, who cared for an ailing John Gotti in prison, introduced Falcone to his world of shakedowns, beatings, and envelopes of cash, never suspecting that one of his trusted crew members was a federal agent.
A page-turning account of the struggle between law enforcement and organized crime that will rank with such classic stories as Donnie Brasco, Serpico, and Wiseguy, Making Jack Falcone is an unforgettable trip into Americaās underworld through the eyes of a highly decorated FBI veteran.
