67 Cents: Creation of a Killer

Tom Cirignano lived and worked in South Boston running an auto repair shop there during the reign of mobster, James "Whitey" Bulger. "67 Cents: Creation of a Killer" is a fictional adaptation of the author's real life events. As a young man, "Nick" made a life-changing decision. He'll do whatever it takes to fit in and gain respect. That revelation seriously complicates things when Southie's Irish and Italian mobs both crave access to his large, secure garage. It's perfect for storing hijacked trucks, holding covert meetings, and much more. 

Welcome to 1980s Southie, an unforgiving environment of extreme crime and violence where choosing sides can prove hazardous. When driven to the edge, Nick finds out if he's got what it takes to be a successful killer.

Note: Contains strong language and violent scenes. 

The author's autobiography is titled, "The Constant Outsider, Memoirs of a South Boston Mechanic." 

Jordan Rich, of WBZ-Boston, says, "If it's insight you want, into what the crime scene in Southie was really all about, look no further than '67 Cents: Creation of a Killer.' Tom Cirignano was an eyewitness to it all and captures the flavor of the city in this crisp, fast-paced novel!"
