              “Dead men tell no lies”

                                                                               By Joe Biondo

    Joe Biagi was a good Sicilian kid, who through his parent’s teachings and the streets he grew up on had his own ideas of what the rules actually were. If you saw it you remembered it, never bragged about it and always covered your own ass. If you saw some idiot taking advantage of the weak, you stepped in and helped them out. Never make a move that would make your parents unhappy with you…..unless it was out of your control. To grow up with the values of a Sicilian male, you grew up with certain values that others just didn’t understand. If someone crossed you or yours, in time your paths would cross and getting even just seemed to happen.

    Joe never looked for trouble; he was a model kid, student, son, and friend. Almost everyone who came in contact with him loved him, he had a special magnetism. He was tall, dark, athletic, smart, and always willing to help others.

    He was headed to the top until certain situations changed his direction. When that happened he had to do what was right, even if it was, against the law. Retribution means – time to get even, and in

some cases this kid wasn’t about to sit back and let it go. He was willing to die to satisfy the urge of avenging the injuring and deaths of the innocent and weak in his life. Never was this suppose to happen with this young man, it just worked out that way.

    In life you never take on the mobs and gangs, they’re just too strong and dirty and always got their man. But this time, they met their match. Joe Biagi was to smart and not willing to let it go. The only way that he would get caught is if he didn’t plan out his moves. If he needed a month, he took a month. If he needed a year he took a year. If it had to happen now and the situation was right, it happened now.

       The story starts out in Buffalo, N.Y. and ends in San Diego, Cal. The murders do the same. To say anymore would be to give it all away. But one thing stands true. The only people who knew it was him were the ones he killed and dead men tell no lies.
