Reflections of a (former) gangster: Anthony Arillotta tells experiences behind the newly released book

SPRINGFIELD – Four years in the making, mobster and informant Anthony J. Arillotta has released a tell-all story about his life in the mob.

The nonfiction work, co-written by former Springfield police officer Joseph Bradley, might more accurately be labeled a “tell-most,” as Arillotta’s exploits during his rise and fall in the mob are too much to cover in the 228 pages counting work of non-fiction entitled ‘ South End Syndicate: How I Took Over the Genovese Springfield Crew.
