Product Information
Richard "The Ice Man" Kuklinski led a double life beyond anything ever seen on The Sopranos , becoming one of the most notorious professional assassins in American history while hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Now, after 240 hours of face-to-face interviews with Kuklinski and his wife and daughters, author Philip Carlo tells his extraordinary story. Kuklinski was Sammy "The Bull" Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano at Spark's Steakhouse. John Gotti hired him to kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, he would make victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with cold-hearted intensity, never disappointing his customers. By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking enormous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique. Kuklinski's story, once known, captivated the public and became the subject of three HBO documentaries about which the New York Times raved "Few viewers are ever likely to forget this thoroughly chilling portrait. As for possible movie competition, it would work on the level of The Silence of the Lambs ."Product Identifiers

Reality Has a Way of Outdoing Fiction
The story as narrated just keeps you on edge of Wow! Your heart will ache learning of Kuklinski's childhood and you can almost conclude by the ensuing extreme deep seated anger and vile for humankind that his life path could almost go in no other direction than it did. It is amazing that He normalized to the degree of marriage and family, attempting to show his children a better world than He knew.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
