SYNOPSIS: MOB RULE is an intimate portrait of the Mafia in Canada, from the early years of extortion and bootlegging to the present-day empire of drugs, loan-sharking, prostitution and murder. In MOB RULE, James Dubro focuses on the life and times of gangland boss Paul Volpe, the "respectable" businessman who built his fortune on murder, arson and extortion. In tracing Volpe's story, Dubro presents a rogue's gallery of Canadian crime, including: Cecil Kirby, hit-man and enforcer, whose favorite pastimes involved the creative use of dynamite on cars, business and people; Domenic Racco, who made the mistake of believing that no one would kill the heir of a Mafia don; Cosimo Commisso, a member of Canada's Murder Inc., who once ordered a restaurant blown up because of poor service. The bloody world of MOB RULE is home to a supporting cast of Hell's Angels, Oriental gangs, soldiers of fortune and dope-crazed dictators--a world where today's mob king is tomorrow's mob victim.
