The year is 1968 in this autobiography, as Joey, a Mafia hitman, is given a contract for a mild-mannered, mid-level numbers operator who has been stealing from the revenue he's reporting upstairs. How it was done (in 1968), chapter-and-verse, from a man who by that time had made 28 hits before this one, his most complicated. Joey had a solid position in the mob which evolved from his status as a hitman. Who better to partner with than a guy who had pulled the trigger to defend his turf? The story is told in a matter-of-fact fashion, detailing Joey's care in planning. Joey wrote this book with a reporter who carefully checked him out and another (Hit Man) in exchange in exchange for cash to drop at the track or on sports because Joey was himself a gambler like #29. Very revealing, fascinating and chilling account. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The New York Times-bestselling author of Killer: The Autobiography of a Mafia Hit Man reveals the true story of his most harrowing contract murder. "Joey the Hit Man" was a Bronx-born hired assassin who achieved widespread notoriety after writing a bestselling memoir and appearing on the David Susskind show. In this "down-to-earth realistic account," Joey tells the riveting story behind the strangest of his thirty-eight kills (Los Angeles Free Press). In the fall of 1969, a public execution in an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn earned Joey a mention in the New York Daily News and a twenty-grand payout from the mob. On the surface, his next job seemed just as routine: The bosses suspected their trusted numbers controller, Joe Squillante, was skimming the nightly bets to settle personal debts. Joey gave Squillante two weeks to live. But there was one problem: Squillante once had a hit out on Joey too. No clueless patsy, #29 was an unpredictable bull's-eye, and the contract holder was a dangerous mobster with a personal grudge against Joey. Taking the job meant entering into a game of predator and prey as nerve-racking as the cock of a .38 hammer. From first tail to all-night stakeouts to the intricate planning of the final confrontation, this is the shockingly detailed first-person account of a professional hit. Full of twists, turns, and double crosses, Hit #29 "tells it like it is" and delivers an unforgettable insider's view of the mob (Kirkus Reviews). No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
