Jim Cirni, a first generation Italian-American, drew inspiration for his mafia crime thrillers from his roots in Brooklyn, New York. Cirni served as a paratrooper in the 82nd United States Airborne during the late 1950s and spent the following forty years working in public accounting, writing novels in his leisure. He passed in 2004.
