The Italian Wolf, also known as the Apennine Wolf, was originally described in 1921 as subspecies Canis lupus italicus by Italian zoologist Joseph Atobello. However, following WWII it was believed to be extinct. It was not.

In 1971 there were only three ways out of the soul-crushing, abject poverty of the Jersey City shithole of a slum they called the Duncan Avenue Federal Housing Project; prison, the military or the likely end to both – death.

All he’d have to do is finish high school, (something no one else in his family had ever done before), find a shit load of money, (something else no one else in his family had ever done), and get accepted to college, something no one . . . |

“A fascinating and lesser-known part of Mafia and WWII history, this
brilliantly-researched novel is quite an eye-opener!”
- Shelly Marsden
Irish World, London
"Dock workers shout and swear coarsely. You can almost smell the
creosote and tobacco smoke as they do while the impression of a New
York metropolis coming into its own is particularly potent. As a
narrator he never has us at a loss as to our location, and using
something of a film maker's palate, he lets the streets and docksides
of New York become a central character in their own right."
- Hilary A. White,
The Sunday Independent,
“Like a sunken treasure ship this intriguing wartime
story has now been well and truly excavated.”
- Irish Daily Mail, London
“I was a bit wary as I began reading, thinking the use of colloquial
speech and vocabulary would make the book hard going. However I was
wrong; instead it gives the book a distinctive flavour, alongside the
descriptions of a bustling New York."
- Annette Hart
Reviews Online
Some Reader Comments:
“I felt compelled to write and tell you that once into the last fifty
pages, on my way home one evening last week, I missed my train stop by
two stations reading the chase scene at the end."
Christina Rossi, Philadelphia, PA
Just a quick "Thank you" for Operation Underworld. Being a
girl, I'm usually not a fan of crime-related stuff, but I got this one
off my boyfriend's shelf to read something during a trip - and boy,
did the trip seem short!"
- Irene, Rome, Italy
"I have been a history enthusiast for many years, and was frankly
bowled over by the historical accuracy of the novel, as well as the
effectiveness of the device used to carry the story. Historical
fiction so often tends to be either too dry to capture one's interest
for long, or superficial fun to read, but at the expense of historical
accuracy. With Operation Underworld, Mr. Kelly seems to have found the
happy medium that balances both.
Now of course, we are all anxiously awaiting his next historical
novel."
- Lt. Geoffrey Meade, U. S. N.
San Antonio, Texas
“I am greatly enjoying Operation Underworld. The visual and
auditory image of the two guys in the hold of the ship striking the
water valve in unison to the choral strains of the Anvil Chorus made
me burst out laughing! That is such a great visual, in such a weird
context!

Now of course, we are all anxiously awaiting his next historical

“I am greatly enjoying Operation Underworld. The visual and
auditory image of the two guys in the hold of the ship striking the
water valve in unison to the choral strains of the Anvil Chorus made
me burst out laughing! That is such a great visual, in such a weird
context!

“A fascinating and lesser-known part of Mafia and WWII history, this
brilliantly-researched novel is quite an eye-opener!”

"Dock workers shout and swear coarsely. You can almost smell the
creosote and tobacco smoke as they do while the impression of a New
York metropolis coming into its own is particularly potent. As a
narrator he never has us at a loss as to our location, and using
something of a film maker's palate, he lets the streets and docksides
of New York become a central character in their own right."
- Hilary A. White,
The Sunday Independent,
“Like a sunken treasure ship this intriguing wartime
story has now been well and truly excavated.”
- Irish Daily Mail, London
“I was a bit wary as I began reading, thinking the use of colloquial
speech and vocabulary would make the book hard going. However I was
wrong; instead it gives the book a distinctive flavour, alongside the
descriptions of a bustling New York."

Some Reader Comments:
“I felt compelled to write and tell you that once into the last fifty
pages, on my way home one evening last week, I missed my train stop by
two stations reading the chase scene at the end."
Christina Rossi, Philadelphia, PA
Just a quick "Thank you" for Operation Underworld. Being a
girl, I'm usually not a fan of crime-related stuff, but I got this one
off my boyfriend's shelf to read something during a trip - and boy,
did the trip seem short!"
- Irene, Rome, Italy
"I have been a history enthusiast for many years, and was frankly
bowled over by the historical accuracy of the novel, as well as the
effectiveness of the device used to carry the story. Historical
fiction so often tends to be either too dry to capture one's interest
for long, or superficial fun to read, but at the expense of historical
accuracy. With Operation Underworld, Mr. Kelly seems to have found the
happy medium that balances both.
Now of course, we are all anxiously awaiting his next historical
novel."
