Secrets of the Mob is a unique look at four of the most famous gangsters in US history. You will explore the personal lives of four gangsters: Meyer Lansky, Al Capone, John Gotti, and Paul Castellano. Author Jay Baer felt it was time to look at their lives differently. For example: What did John Gotti like to eat besides Italian food, and how did he run his family? Who was Meyer Lansky’s mentor, and how much was Meyer worth? What did Al Capone wear, how much did his wardrobe cost, and who was his mentor? What were Paul Castellano's business secrets?

In the 1840s, the Donnelly family immigrates from Ireland to the British province of Canada. Almost immediately problems develop as the patriarch of the family is sent to the Kingston Penitentiary for manslaughter, leaving his wife to raise their eight children on her own. The children are raised in an incredibly violent community and cultivate a devoted loyalty to their mother and siblings, which often leads to problems with the law and those outside of the family.

In 1880, an organized mob of the Donnellys' enemies murders four family members and burns their house to the ground. Another sibling is shot to death in a house a short distance away. William Donnelly and a teenage boy are the only witnesses to the murders. The surviving family members seek justice through the local courts but quickly learn that their enemies control the jury and the press. Two sensational trials follow that make national and international headlines as the Donnellys continue to pursue justice for their murdered parents, siblings, and cousin.
