Dirty Phenix

Dirty Phenix: Birth of the Dixie Mafia (Carnal Knowledge Book One)

What if the key to the JFK assassination wasn't found in Dallas, but on Bourbon Street? Burlesque legend Blaze Starr offered a tantalizing clue: "In barrooms or bedrooms, men can't keep secrets. So if you really want to know what happened in Dallas, ask a stripper in New Orleans".

The Carnal Knowledge series, the culmination of over 40 years of interviews, fights to answer the alarming question of whether the Italian La Cosa Nostra had the motive, means, and opportunity to kill the president and force a government agency to obfuscate the truth.

Dirty Phenix: Birth of the Dixie Mafia, the essential first book in the series, rips the lid off the violent Southern underworld, tracing the origins of the ruthless Dixie Mafia and exposing its essential connection to the New Orleans mob and the events leading up to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The Birth of the Dixie Mafia

Discover Phenix City, Alabama-known worldwide as America's original "Sin City". This former "gangster paradise" was so corrupt that organized crime made an estimated $100 million annually from illegal rackets before the 1954 cleanup following the assassination of crime-fighter Albert Patterson.

When martial law finally descended on the town in 1954, law enforcement found evidence of every conceivable kind of vice and lawlessness, including safecracking schools, prostitution, narcotics rings, and the selling of babies. The subsequent crackdown scattered criminal vagrants, referred to as "crossroaders," across the South. These loosely connected operators became known as The Dixie Mafia, operating as the enforcement arm of the Italian Mafia in Dallas, Miami, and, crucially, New Orleans.

The New Orleans Mafia Connection and the JFK Conspiracy

This explosive book tells the story of Phenix City through the eyes of a New Orleans icon: dancer Stacey Lawrence, better known by her stage name, Stormy, the Queen of the Vieux Carré. Stormy, who attended school in Phenix City, Alabama, witnessed a murder there in 1944. She later became a star stripteaser, working at clubs, including the Old Opera House, which was once owned by a business associate of Carlos Marcello.

Dirty Phenix exposes Stormy's identity and her relationship with a young man working on Bourbon Street. In 1955, at Stormy's Casino Royale, she befriended a teenager sweeping floors. She only learned his last name in 1964, when Dallas police accused him of assassination: Lee Harvey Oswald.

Inside, you will find disturbing insider claims suggesting that:

• In New Orleans, Lee Oswald was far from a loner.
• Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby worked as government informants and knew each other.
• John Kennedy knew who killed Marilyn Monroe and why.

Dirty Phenix is the essential foundation to understanding how the birth of the Dixie Mafia in America's Wickedest City paved the road that led directly to Dallas. Read the book that reveals who the stripper was and her vital connection to the man accused of killing JFK.
