WATCH: “Drain the Oceans: Rise of the Mob” Trailer

Photo Source: Youtube/Past Preservers

Author Christian Cipollini is one of my very favorite crime historians. I watch his shows, I read his books — I love his fashions! The guy has great style.

“Cip” (as I so affectionately call him) has participated in numerous television projects lending his expertise on organized crime and the inner workings of the Italian mafia.

His newest project, “Drain the Oceans: Rise of the Mob” takes a deep dive into mob history — literally.

I would spoil it and tell you what it’s all about but luckily there is a trailer so you can see for yourself.

If you’re like me and love organized crime based documentaries, make sure to set your DVR for this one. The episode will premiere on both National Geographic and Hulu networks.

Check for local listings.

I don’t know about you but I could use this message right about now. I’m sure there is plenty of knowledge in this book as Freeway Rick collected millions upon millions during his drug dealing heyday.

Since his release from federal prison, he has become a motivational speaker, businessman and author traveling all over the globe sharing his life story to encourage others.

To me, that’s a definitely a success story.

They say criminals make the best teachers once they go legit. I tend to agree.

Hey Hustlers!

I reallly need your help!

As I revamp, I am hoping to create more interesting content for this blog.

I’ve spent weeks wrecking my brain and pondering about what kind of new content would make this place more engaging. I was able to narrow down a few options but I still cant decide which direction to go.

Since The Pen Hustler reaches approximately 300 – 500 readers in various countries per day, maybe I should get feedback from you, the readers. Your opinions are crucial to the continued success of this site.

Please take the poll below and let me know what you think.

I’ll be back soon to deliver.

Book Review: Masking Evil by Carol Anne Davis

lauloulew

Occasionally, writers and publishing houses send me books to review. I’m a huge reader so any true crime books I can my hands on I devour. Masking Evil by Carol Anne Davis was definitely no exception.

What sets this book apart from the hundreds of true crime titles on the shelves at the moment is its format. The book covers an overview of 37 different cases of good men and women turned evil, from a charity worker who murdered his wives to a policewoman gone bad.

Davis writes almost as if she has first hand knowledge of the events of each crime, showing how thorough and detailed her research is. The snippets at the start of each chapter give an insight into what you can expect from each case, setting the scene and making this book incredibly hard to put down.

In every case, Davis does much more than just…
