Learn moreAnthony “Tony” Costa grew up admiring his Uncle Dom - a made member of the New England mafia - so when Dom asks him to collect gambling debts from around the neighborhood, Tony is happy to help. Even after his uncle gets thrown in jail, he does his nephew a good turn from behind bars, getting him a job as a longshoreman on the Boston waterfront. The year is 1958, and Tony is only 18. His new job quickly teaches him what it will take to survive on the docks.
Tony and his violent new friend Butchie Shea soon carve out a life for themselves on the pier. But when Butchie convinces him to take desperate, brutal action against an adversary, Tony realizes just how badly his criminal lifestyle has tainted him. He vows to go straight and focus on his wife and family - but old habits die hard, and the opportunity of a lifetime yanks Tony back in. The job could lead to big rewards, but Tony might not see just how risky it is until it’s too late.
Read by award-winning narrator Chris Andrew Ciulla, a native Bostonian.
"Marc Zappulla is an American author from the Boston suburb of Medford, Massachusetts. He has worked for professional sports figures such as Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Gerry Cheevers, and former MLB strength and conditioning coach Brian McNamee. He was inspired to write his first novel The Last Longshoreman by his father’s thirty-year career as a longshoreman. Zappulla currently lives in Boston and is busy working on his next book."
Chris has narrated over 530 titles in his audiobook career. Just last year, he received two Audie nominations for Best Thriller (Snowstorm in August, Blackstone Audio) and Best Multi-Cast (Star Trek: No Man’s Land, Simon and Schuster Audio). He’s received parts of six Earphones Awards from AudioFile Magazine, a 2022 SOVAS nomination for Best Mystery (No One Will Miss Her, HarperCollins Audio), and an Odyssey Award (Sadie, Macmillan Audio). Chris is also a TV and Film actor with credits in such shows at Castle and Gotham (he always seems to die), is a frequent video game voice actor known for Mickey Caviar in Starfield, over 30 characters in the AAA game series Fallout for Bethesda, and can be heard voicing the Ultimate History Quiz on your nearest Alexa device for The History Channel/A&E. He’s married to his high school sweetheart Suzanne, loves to spend every day with his Frenchie Leo and Boston Terrier Coco, and dearly misses his first-born Pug-boy Rocky.
