In the dying days of the American Mob, there was a “neutral zone” Erie, Pennsylvania. It sat about 100 miles from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. It was a sanctuary city for thieves, hitmen, and safecrackers who needed to vanish.
It was here that The Secret Seven operated. A crew so secret, we used to say we didn’t know who the other six were. One Man Crime Spree is the raw, unfiltered memoir of Tim “Murph the Surf” Murphy, “The Kid” who drove the getaway cars, punched the safes, and survived the crash that killed the era of the Goodfellas.
