The LaRocca Mafia Crime Family

The Complete History of a Pittsburgh Criminal Organization

By: Mafia Library

Narrated by: John Raynar

Pittsburgh’s mafia may not have been as infamous as New York’s Five Families or Chicago’s Outfit, but for nearly a century, the LaRocca Mafia Crime Family ruled Pittsburgh’s underworld with an iron fist. This is the untold story of power, betrayal, and survival, from the blood-soaked streets of Wylie Avenue to the backroom deals that shaped the Steel City’s economy.

This book uncovers the full story of Pittsburgh’s organized crime history, from the first dons to the final days of the once-mighty LaRocca family. Each chapter delves into pivotal moments: the Prohibition era’s booze barons, the violence of Wylie Avenue, the mafia’s deep connections to the city’s booming steel industry, ties to the mighty Genovese family and a reach that extended far beyond Pennsylvania, and the family’s desperate attempts at damage control as federal investigations closed in.

Through gripping storytelling and meticulous research, the LaRocca Mafia Crime Family unveils the rise and fall of a criminal dynasty that shaped Pittsburgh’s underworld. This is the true history of a mob empire—its power, players, and inevitable downfall.

TRUE CRIME DONE RIGHT

This is what I want in a mafia history audiobook: well-researched, gripping, and full of stories I’d never heard before. The Wylie Avenue violence chapters were chilling but fascinating.

Steel City’s Secret History

I had no idea Pittsburgh had such a deep mafia history. This audiobook tells it all—booze, blood, and backroom deals—with storytelling that makes it impossible to pause.

GREAT BOOK!

Great research on a family that is not well-known in the Mafia. If you like a Mob world, you'll not be disappointed. Great narrator.

Interesting

This is an interesting audiobook about the Mafia in the USA. It is very easy to listen to, and the length is perfect, so you won't get bored. The narrator has a fantastic voice.
