Meet the Author

N. S. Gorman is a narrative historian who specializes in uncovering the hidden architecture of Mafia power—its families, its feuds, and the quiet paper trails that outlive every dynasty. His work blends archival research, eyewitness accounts, and long‑buried documents to reconstruct the real stories behind America’s most influential crime networks

N. S. Gorman’s nonfiction Mafia series is built on a simple promise: tell the truth, tell it clearly, and tell it like the lives behind it mattered. His books illuminate the hidden threads connecting Old World families to New World empires, revealing how power moved, who controlled it, and why their stories still echo today.

Based in South Florida, N. S. Gorman writes from a place where sunlit calm meets the shadows of history. When he’s not deep in a Sicilian archive or tracing a Manhattan lead, he’s on his screened patio overlooking the 5th green of the Orangebrook Golf and Country Club in Hollywood, Florida—reading someone else’s Mafia crime novel, a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon nearby, with his wife Joi and their Goldendoodle, Charlie, keeping him company.
