THE GABARDINE GANG: Power and Betrayal in Hartford’s Mob Scene by Kevin B. DiBacco is a riveting tale of crime, family, and redemption in the gritty underworld of the 1950s and 1960s Hartford, Connecticut.  Geno DiBacco led the notorious Gabardine Gang, a small-time mob that ruled the city. Geno’s son, Kevin, takes you on a visceral journey through his childhood and adolescence, revealing the gang’s illegal activities, his father’s dramatic descent, and the harsh realities of organized crime, offering a unique perspective on a world often glamorized in Hollywood.  This book offers a profound look at the DiBacco family’s struggles amid racial tensions and the personal costs of a life entwined with crime. Geno’s battle with gambling addiction and the impact of his choices on his family paint a vivid picture of a man and a community at a crossroads. THE GABARDINE GANG explores the intricate dynamics of family, resilience, and personal redemption. Kevin’s authentic storytelling immerses readers in a world where every twist and turn resonates with genuine emotion.  Don’t miss your chance to experience this raw and unfiltered exploration of a bygone era!
