Chicago Swan Song

Lisa Swan became the wife of Frank Calabrese, Jr., a collector for his father, the notorious and brutal Frank “Frankie the Breeze” Calabrese, a high-ranking member of the infamous Chinatown Crew.

It’s all here. The money, the violence, the drugs the greed and the murders that surrounded her as well as her deep passion to break free from a lifestyle that could change with the flash of a single bullet.

Swan’s firsthand, intimate look inside the insular and secretive Chicago Outfit details her life inside the Calabrese Clan, one of the First Families of the Chicago Mob. She describes, with clarity and occasional humor her discovery of the dark side of the Mafia and her battle to save herself, her children and eventually her husband from gritty realities of the Mob.
