ReviewsPRAISE FOR THE ICE MAN?Carlo has written another captivating true-crime book. This one tells the spine-chilling story of Richard Kuklinski, a.k.a. ?the Ice Man? because he liked to freeze his victims to throw off forensic investigators.'This work is written like a novel; readers will become so engrossed in the details that they'll forget that this is a true story. Highly recommended for readers of true crime.' (Library Journal), '... the inside information about the lifestyle, rituals, killings and betrayals is priceless.An authoritative look at a once-rampant predator now at bay.' (Kirkus Reviews)
