Two NonFiction

Adult NonFiction

Original Gangster: the real life story of one of America's most notorious drug lords
by Frank Lucas with Aliya S. King. The life of a heroin dealer and organized crime boss in New York City. Lucas apprenticed to old-time gangster Bumpy Johnson and took over heroin distribution in the 1960s and through the 1970s. Why are there no photographs? It should be illegal to write a biography without photographs.
