About this product

Product Information

Philip Carlo's The Ice Man spent over six weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. Top Mob Hitman. Devoted Family Man. Doting Father. For thirty years, Richard The Iceman Kuklinski led a shocking double life, becoming the most torious professional assassin in American history while happily hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Richard Kuklinski was Sammy the Bull Grava's partner in the killing of Paul Castella, then head of the Gambi crime family, at Sparks Steakhouse. Mob boss John Gotti hired him to torture and kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, Kuklinski would make his victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with coldhearted intensity and shocking efficiency, never disappointing his customers. By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking ermous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique.This trail of murder lasted over thirty years and took Kuklinski all over America and to the far corners of the earth, Brazil, Africa, and Europe. Along the way, he married, had three children, and put them through Catholic school. His daughter's medical condition meant regular stays in children's hospitals, where Kuklinski was remembered, t as a gangster, but as an affectionate father, extremely kind to children. Each Christmas found the Kuklinski home festooned in colorful lights; each summer was a succession of block parties. His family never suspected a thing.Richard Kuklinski is w the subject of the major motion picture titled The Iceman (2013), starring James Franco, Wina Ryder, Ray Liotta, and Chris Evans.

The Ice Man
Compelling and graphically violent , a real page-turner . I've always been fascinated by the Mafia genre , and this book is a look into it's darkest side . I recommend the book highly , but I will say , there were parts I wish I never read . As a person who reads a lot of books , I will not forget this one , it'll stay in the front of your memory line for a long time . I'd rate this book a solid 8 . Chris from Vancouver B.C

SCARY TO THINK
Very absorbing book. Since Mr. Kulkinski was a star on HBO and BIO channel, I think he "plays to the audience". I doubt his claims to all 200+ murders - in fact I doubt much of what he wrote about his "practice-killings" in Manhattan, and I definitely think he exaggerates his numbers ---but to think he actually commited one each of the torture murders along with the anger killngs is scary. If he did in fact shoot an old man walking his dog just to prove himself to another murderer, he sets a record for senselessness. If he sat and watched other murderers carve up a body and throw it away in dumpsters, he is a walking horror movie. If he fed live victims to rats and filmed it for the people who hired him even once, let alone the many times he claims in this book, he has no soul. Some of this is gripping; some is frightening,; some is B.S.; and some is hard to stomach. Highly recommended even if I don't rate it excellent - to give an excellent to something this grim just doesn't wash.Read full review
