Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A never-before-seen glimpse into the rarefied world of the Ghost Shadows, New York's powerful Chinese crime organization of the 1970s and '80s--written by the young leader who ran it: reformed gangster Peter Chin. Only in fairy tales can a poor orphan become royalty. But in New York City's Chinatown, one street kid managed to rise to the top ranks of a criminal gang dynasty. This is no fairy tale. This really happened . . . IN THE GHOST SHADOWS They were the most powerful gang in Chinatown. Like the notorious crime families of the Italian Mob, the Asian youth gang known as the Ghost Shadows carved out their own territory in New York's underworld and ruled those streets for decades. Their leader Peter Chin, a young immigrant from the outskirts of Hong Kong, not only found a new family among his fellow gang members but became one of the two most powerful men in Chinatown's history at that time. He even straddled the line between the city's Asian Mob and the Italian Mafia, adopted as a 'godson' of a high-ranking member of the Genovese crime family. Eventually it all came crashing down--when Chin and twenty-four other Ghost Shadows were indicted and imprisoned for racketeering under the RICO Act. But throughout his twenty years in prison, and even since his release, Chin has kept his code of silence . . . Until now. For the first time ever, the former leader of the Ghost Shadows breaks his silence in this honest tell-all to author Everett De Morier, revealing the never-before-told story of his incredible, harrowing life. From his first arrival in New York's gritty Chinatown at the age of eight to his fateful initiation into the street gangs at thirteen, Chin found a new sense of belonging and brotherhood--as well as a dangerous world of gun fights and gang wars, gambling and extortion, Mob-style shootings and, ultimately, arrests. Now a successful businessman, Chin gives readers a rarefied glimpse into why a young man would choose a life of crime--and how he managed to beat the odds to rise in the ranks and live to tell the tale. But at its heart, Chin's is a story of family, loyalty, and redemption, with an inspiring message of hope for anyone who's made mistakes, paid the price, and learned from the past to build a better tomorrow. Includes 8 pages of never-before-seen photographs. …

A nice set of documents relating to the London émigré art scene. A copy of the engraved portrait to which these two items refer, titled 'Louis Joseph de Bourbon, prince de Condé, prince du sang', is BM P&D 1850,0211.17, and carries the information "M.de de Tott pinx.", "F. Bartolozzi RA sculp.", and her details, as publisher: "London Publish'd by M.de de Tott Octo. 1 1802". De Tott's original painting is in the Musée Condé in Paris. See Bartolozzi's entry in the Oxford DNB and the second (1885) edition of Tuer's monograph on him. The two items are attached with a wafer at top inner corner. ONE (signed order by de Tott): On one side of 16.5 x 10.5 slip of laid paper. On reverse, in her hand: 'le Monsieur David Morier / No. 10. Tokenhouse yard / Lothbury -'. In good condition, lightly aged, apart from a clean closed tear made by scissors on opening the wafer, unobtrusively cutting between the 'de' and 'Tott' of her signature. Reads: 'Je prie Monsieur David Morier de vouloir bien remêttre Cent Livres Sterling pour mon Compte, a Mr. G. F. de Queiros, [sic] Eleve de Mr. F. Bartolozzi, qui doit les recevoir au nom de Mr. F. Bartolozzi. pour La moitié du payement de La Gravure qu'il fait, pour moi, du portrait de Mr. Le Pce. de Condé. / Sophie Ernestine Ctesse de Tott'. TWO (receipt signed by de Queiroz): On one side of 20 x 7.5 slip of laid paper, with blind-stamped tax stamp. Only the signature is in de Queiroz' hand. Reads: 'Recd. 16 June 1802 One hundred Pounds on acct. of Madame de Tott for the use of Mr. Fras. Bartolozzi (as Pr annexed Order) / Gregorio Franco. de Queiroz / £100 -'. See Image.…
