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 notorious professional assassin in American history while happily hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Richard Kuklinski was Sammy the Bull Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano, then head of the Gambino 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 enormous 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, not 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 now the subject of the major motion picture titled "The Iceman"(2013), starring James Franco, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, and Chris Evans.

The boss of New York's infamous Lucchese crime family, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso's life in the Mafia was preordained from birth. His rare talent for "earning"—concocting ingenious schemes to hijack trucks, rob banks, and bring vast quantities of drugs into New York—fueled his unstoppable rise up the ladder of organized crime. A mafioso responsible for at least fifty murders, Casso lived large, with a beautiful wife and money to burn. When the law finally caught up with him in 1994, Casso became the thing he hated most—an informer. From his blood feud with John Gotti to his dealings with the "Mafia cops," decorated NYPD officers Lou Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, to the Windows case, which marked the beginning of the end for the New York Mob, Gaspipe is Anthony Casso's shocking story—a roller-coaster ride into an exclusive netherworld that reveals the true inner workings of the Mafia, from its inception to the present time.

From Boy Scout to assassin – the true confessions of a cartel hitman At the age of twelve Martin Corona started dealing drugs. After years in and out of prison, he rose through the ranks to become the leader of an elite killing squad for a notorious Tijuana drug cartel. Now haunted by his past deeds, he lives with the fact that he once pulled the trigger on a pregnant woman in front of her seven-year-old child, and accidentally shot a cardinal while hunting down El Chapo in an airport. Martin Corona has been convicted of multiple murders committed during his time as a cartel career hitman. These killings were brutal and cruelly efficient. Corona's gang would cross into the United States from their luxurious hideout in Mexico, eradicate whoever needed to be killed north of the border, and return home in the afternoon. In this book, Martin’s shocking first-hand confessions illuminate his descent from teenage drug dealer to murderous member of the drug cartel run by the Arellano brothers that dominated the Southern California drug trade - and initiated much violent gang warfare - for decades. Martin's story illuminates how a young boy, who played Little League football and was a Boy Scout, became a vicious criminal. Both shocking and powerful, it asks us how someone can inflict so much evil and whether they can find forgiveness on the other side.

THE DEAD LINE... CONFESSIONS of a DIXIE MAFIA ASSASSINAN INVESTIGATIVE MEMOIRT. A. POWELL "Not everyone who dies rests in peace...and not everyone who rests in peace remains silent!" That's something the souls of the dead say the Dixie Mafia of the golden Gulf coast has apparently forgotten after 52 years. Wallowing under the misguided mysteries of a broken family and the Mississippi mud that slogged through their veins, the indomitable daughter of slain Lt. Dan Anderson, Phyllis Anderson Cook, and Investigative Forensics author Powell are ready to expose newfound evidence about the previously known and unknown participants of the Cornbread Cabal's two greatest murders of revenge: the infamous night of the Buford and Pauline Pusser ambush on the Mississippi/Tennessee state line and the assassination of Gulfport, Mississippi's Judge Vincent Sherry and his politically active wife, Margaret. With never before revealed first-hand, eye witness testimonials and fact patterned evidence, the investigative author has been able to provide a plausible and corroborative segue to the mystery men of the Gulf coasts' sinister history that the public has casually forgotten but spirit has not.Led by the ethereal soul of Dixie Mafia maven and victim, "Calamity Jane", whose own murder begged to be solved; Powell has used both investigative forensics skill sets and the shorthand of the dead to assist Cook in connecting the dots between the 'alleged suicides' of her father and brother to the graveside guardians of local law enforcement, who were hired by the Dixie Mafia to ensure their silence about the nights the lights went out in Mississippi. In tandem with dedicated field researchers and Dixie Mafia victims brave enough to step forward, forensically based discoveries have been made by Powell that supports the supposition of assassination for her client's youngest brother and Dixie Mafia embedded father. But neither psychic medium detective, nor Cook were satisfied with just providing segue...they wanted justice and it came from the most unlikely source! Unable to rest in the Mississippi mire, the spirit of "Calamity Jane" came through time and again to describe her killers, her place of burial and the dirty cops that watched her killers destroy her headstone to hide her final resting place and the criminal activities they were all involved in. Unearthing new facts through once overlooked family photographs, countless documents, eye-witness testimonies and hours of undercover and unpublished podcast sessions/interviews, both Powell and Cook have built an undeniable dossier of formidable truth. Victims who wish to remain anonymous until the public steps forward and demands justice from its local, state and federal governments...along with their respective political representatives demand their voices to be heard...even if from beyond the grave!T.
