Description
PGA Tour player, Chuck Workman’s autobiography, details his life growing up as the son of Charlie “The Bug” Workman, notorious enforcer for the mob’s Murder Incorporated, who was incarcerated over 24 years for the murder of Mob Boss Dutch Schultz.Chuck Workman, at 83, has never truly retired from the game, networking or golf.
He carries a charm; intangible and inherited, it is infectious, and provides a knowing glimpse into the past of his family and his life. In telling his, and his father’s story, a deeper mystery emerges from the height of the days when mafia ruled- in a murky world between murder and a different code of ethics, “I know what your father did…”
Is not said in fear, but with gratitude, awe and respect. With the help of Author Peter Cimino, after a lifetime, he is finally telling their story.

Chuck Workman gives a view into his world with his autobiography about growing up the son of a Mafia enforcer, Charlie, "The Bug", Workman. I enjoy true crime and was thoroughly engaged reading about Charlie's life with his father and on tour. His story kept me glued to the book the whole time.
Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the chance to read this for a review.

Thank you to NetGalley for this copy in review for an honest review.
This book was a mix of memoir (Chuck’s career in golf and also how his dad.’s involvement in the mob shaped his life) and true crime, some mob activities that happened.
I’m usually not a fan of memoir and true crime mixed together, but this one definitely hit the spot.
I’ve always been fascinated by mob activities and relationships. The one thing that keeps this from being five stars for me is that some of the chapters were chopped up into multiple timelines childhood/adult etc and it could get confusing.
