Product Information
Richard Kuklinski, aka the Ice Man, will go down as one of the most vicious killers in history. Responsible for well over 200 murders, he is the man who claims a direct link to the killing of Jimmy Hoffa and he is one of the reasons for John Gotti's rise to power. the wife of one victim referred to him as the devil. Yet behind every monster, even the most cold-blooded ones, there lies a human story. After 240 hours of face-to-face interviews with Richard Kuklinksi and even more time spent with Kuklinski's family, Philip Carlo reveals all in The Ice Man. He led a double life: professional assassin and devoted family man. As described by his wife Barbara, Richard was two people. At times he was a model father that would return home with a car full of groceries and presents, and at other times he was a monster, frequently subjecting Barbara to abuse and leaving their children to watch in horror. But despite even his worst moments at home, his family never knew of his other life as a top hitman contracted by the bosses of east coast crime families. On the day Richard was arrested, the police found not one single weapon in the house. His family never knew of the nights he would meander into Manhattan's Upper West Side and brutally kill whatever panhandler stepped in his path. In short, Richard Kuklinksi may have been one of the greatest enigmas ever.

A book you just can't put down
I had this book previously and lent it to a friend and they lost it so was extremely happy to get another copy at such a fantastic price. It's one of those books you just can't put down - amazing how a person can lead such a normal, family life then be such a hard, cold killer. If you love true crime, you really need to read the Iceman.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Ice Man Cometh
Hard to believe that a person could be this cold blooded. Murdered more than 200 people with some of those done purely to test different methods of killing. Chilling reading.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good read
This book is very much worth a read, but never lend it to anyone as you will never get it back. I now charge a $20 deposit, that way no one ever borrows.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
