Reviews

"This book is part Sopranos, part all out funny and always authentic. Tony Mendola knows what he is writing about and he has made it come alive. Angelo is fascinating and quite a piece of work."
-- Stuart M. Kaminsky, Mystery Writers of America Grandmaster, Edgar winner, author of more than 50 published mystery novels and one of the screenwriters of Once Upon A Time in America.

"Who Are These Guys is much more than a true crime book. Reading like a novel, Tony Mendola, takes the reader through the wild, high-flying, and often times funny escapades of a group of childhood friends turned drug smugglers. Tony Mendolas writing draws the reader in and never lets go. This is a must-read for fans of the genre."
-- Scott M. Deitche Author of Cigar City Mafia: A Complete History of the Tampa Underworld and The Silent Don: The Criminal Underworld of Santo Trafficante Jr.

"What starts out as four young Tampa guys taking over a small Hippie pot operation, turns into one of the biggest drug smuggling cartels in the world. And it’s all true. Along the way, Angelo Bedami and his cohorts find themselves in a heap of harrowing circumstances, but manage to survive through shear ingenuity laced with humor. It’s all there...dangerous South American drug lords, American politicians who reek with corruption and a group of crazy hoodlums hell-bent to make “boo-coo” bucks and have the time of their lives in Anthony Mendola’s Who Are These Guys? Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a riveting read."
