"Crammed with the kind of characters and detail that make pages turn and moviemakers salivate, self-described 'mobster, drug lord, and porn kingpin' Gallo’s story of life as a criminal and mafia associate is tantalizing material. ... Honest, critical, occasionally remorseful and always entrancing, this criminal memoir will keep readers on the edge of their seats." * Starred (extremely recommended) review from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Breakshot: A Life in the 21st Century American Mafia, is the tell-all memoir of Kenny "Kenji" Gallo, the most famous Asian-American gangster in modern history. Breakshot tells the stranger-than-fiction story of how a Japanese-American private school kid from ritzy Orange County, California, became a jet-setting playboy gangster who made millions with Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel, Los Angeles’ Milano Mafia Family, and New York’s Lucchese and Colombo Mafia Families - before turning his life around by signing on with the FBI as undercover operative against organized crime.
