A man in Pittsburgh, nicknamed “Shark,” turned from drug dealer to a confidential mercenary drug informant for the Attorney General’s drug task force of Pennsylvania. From a young boy of four or five years old, Shark had hung out with his grandfather and father learning the bar scenes and street life. While growing up, he witnessed them booking numbers, selling booze and acquiring cash. Later, Shark became involved with a circle of bad guys supplying cocaine to the entire city of Pittsburgh. He helped them supply the cocaine until his family pulled together an intervention. But, the intervention didn’t go quite normally, and a payment for Shark’s services was offered. He got paid for every cocaine buy whether he was present at the scene or not. Many attempted hits on Shark failed because of Shark’s brother-in-law, Big John, and Shark’s father, the Baker. Big John, 6’7” and an undefeated boxer, tore apart everybody who came after Shark, and the Baker used his police friends and the Larimer Avenue mob to divert Shark from the legal system.

    BOOK REVIEW FOR SHARK, THE BAKER'S SON BY ANTHONY T. ALIBERTI
    BY LEIGH O'DONOVAN

    Shark, the Baker's Son: Based on a true story of a mercenary drug informant

    A young boy from the streets of the Pittsburgh suburb of Bloomfield becomes hooked on one of the 1980s most destructive excess: narcotics. This is the offbeat tale of Shark’s rise from user, to dealer and finally to informant. His travels take him coast to coast in search of the next high. Will Shark overcome his addictions and finally settle down to a life of sobriety? Only if the cartel doesn’t “hit” him first.
    This is the story of Anthony T. Aliberti. His memoir is hard hitting and straightforward. No frills are spared in his tell-all narrative. From his drug-induced adventures to his wild sexual exploits, Aliberti relays his autobiography unapologetically. An exciting read, cover to cover, Aliberti doesn’t fail in bringing excitement and suspense to his debut novel. - 3 STARS
