When it comes to gangsters, Michael Hardy's the real thing. I knew him for thirty-five years. This is a captivating and different kind of true-crime story. I can't believe you captured his voice. Nicholas Pileggi, Author and Screenwriter Wise Guy (Goodfellas) and Casino What a story this is-a vivid picture of a real gangster with a code of honor. It makes me glad I've been lucky enough to stay on Michael's good side. Nick Taylor, Author Sins of the Father, A Necessary End, American Made The Last Jewish Gangster is a fascinating character study of an unapologetic gangster. David Larson masterfully weaves this tale in Michael Hardy's own words, resulting in a powerful, detailed story of a mobster's life. Cathy Scott, Los Angeles Times bestselling True Crime author The Killing of Tupac Shakur, The Murder of Biggie Smalls, Murder of a Mafia Daughter, Death in the Dessert, The Millionaire's Wife I met Michael J. Hardy (Hardin) on the day he threatened to kill my client in 1978. A lot of bad guys threaten to kill people, but rarely mean it. This book is hauntingly real and engrossing as David Larson channels Michael Hardy. Logan Clarke, Private Investigator Book Pipeline Review The voice of this piece of nonfiction is impeccable. Very reminiscent of GOODFELLAS, Michael Hardy is a fascinating subject that truly commands your attention as you read. It's easy to imagine his story getting the feature film treatment or being the basis of a compelling premium cable/streaming drama TV series. Thankfully, there's more than enough material to mine to make either of those a legitimate reality. This is the type of project that needs an A-List attachment--either a filmmaker or lead actor--in order to get it off the ground. Michael J. Hardy is difficult to forget...or avoid. Larson entertains with a fluency equal to John Grisham. Lisa McCombs, 5-Star Readers Favorite Review A biography so interesting, so intriguing, so captivating, that the reader will at times forget that this is the story of real life Michael J. Hardy, and will feel as if they have fallen into a fictional world of crime. Tracy Slowiak, 5-Star Readers Favorite Review
