BOCA RATON, Fla., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ TransMedia Group was retained to publicize and investigate to confirm if indeed author Catherine Spitale was the love child from a romance with a New York mayor as alleged in her autobiography "The Mayor, The Mob & Me."

As she tells it, her uncle took her mother to dances in the 1930s sponsored by the Ship Ahoy Democratic Club where she met a rising figure in New York City politics and it was rumored they fell in love, said TransMedia (www.TransMediaGroup.com) CEO Tom Madden, an author himself.

"Her beautiful mom was estranged from her dad when she met the young Prince Charming who would later become the 100 th Mayor of New York City, William O'Dwyer.

"Our PR campaign will seek to solve the mystery of where Catherine acquired her beautiful blue eyes, Irish red hair, milky-white skin and freckles and how true were those captivating stories her aunts and uncles would later tell her about her mom and the mayor.

"Her appearance always made Catherine feel different from the rest of her dark-skinned Sicilian mob family, including her beloved uncle Salvy, a paisano of mafia boss Lucky Luciano, who ironically Mayor O'Dwyer would put into prison," said Madden.

"It's an intimate story with striking corroborative details that we'll investigate and promote into a movie."

Madden was an investigative reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer before he became a top network television executive at NBC, then a TV show producer.

"We see a screenplay here that will rival The Godfather."

Spitale writes passionately about her upbringing in an Italian family. Her book is available on Amazon and www.booksyoucantrust.com.

"My mother was 24 when her Uncle Ralph took her dancing. She had left her marriage and was living back on 12 th Street with her two babies in tow. She had become a beautiful, young woman and for the first time in her life, she went dancing at the Prospect Dance Hall with her uncle. She was vulnerable, I'm sure, and O'Dwyer was a handsome Irishman.

"Knowing my mom, I bet she never told anyone about her pregnancy. When her husband threatened to ruin her lover politically and take the girls from her, she must have felt she hadn't any other choice."
