<div>New York Times Bestseller: This groundbreaking tell-all by a mob hit man is &ldquo;chilling and compelling&mdash;a must-read&rdquo; (Former FBI agent Joe Pistone, aka Donnie Brasco). The Bronx-born son of a Jewish bootlegger, &ldquo;Joey the Hit Man&rdquo; was introduced to crime when he was just eleven years old. For the next thirty years he was a numbers king, scalper, loan shark, enforcer, and drug smuggler. He hijacked trucks, fenced stolen goods, and trafficked in pornography. But Joey really made his name as a Mafia assassin, racking up thirty-eight cold-blooded hits&mdash;thirty-five for cash, three for revenge. In Killer, Joey tells the true story of life in organized crime. He exposes the reality of gang wars, discusses how he raised a family while living on the wrong side of the law, and documents the day-to-day business of crime&mdash;from making and breaking alliances to staying one step ahead of the cops. He reveals how he faced a grand jury seven times with no convictions (&ldquo;never lie to your lawyer&rdquo;) and kept a seven-figure fortune out of reach of the IRS. He lays out in graphic detail the difference between getting paid to kill and doing it for personal reasons. &ldquo;People think because they saw [The Godfather] they know everything there is to know about organized crime,&rdquo; Joey contends. In this no-holds-barred account, he reveals the brutal truth behind the Hollywood fantasy. Forty-five years after this true crime classic shocked readers all over the world and set the standard for bestselling Mafia biographies including Joseph Bonnano&rsquo;s A Man of Honor and Philip Carlo&rsquo;s Ice Man, the new edition of Killer includes an afterword by coauthor David Fisher that unmasks Joey&rsquo;s real identity&mdash;and the circumstances behind his death that add another layer of mystery to his complicated, colorful, and fascinating life. </div>

Killer

<div>The New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Killer: The Autobiography of a Mafia Hit Man reveals the true story of his most harrowing contract murder. &ldquo;Joey the Hit Man&rdquo; was a Bronx-born hired assassin who achieved widespread notoriety after writing a bestselling memoir and appearing on the David Susskind show. In this &ldquo;down-to-earth realistic account,&rdquo; 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&rsquo;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 &ldquo;tells it like it is&rdquo; and delivers an unforgettable insider&rsquo;s view of the mob (Kirkus Reviews). </div>
