Iceman: The Killings, The Lies, and the Making of a Mafia Legend: The definitive investigation of Richard Kuklinski — the man who got away with murder for decades (Secret Files) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The definitive investigation of Richard Kuklinski — the Iceman — the contract killer who got away with murder for decades, and the myth he sold to the world.

A man sits in a maximum-security prison cell, staring into a television camera, and tells the world he has killed more than one hundred people. The interviews become documentaries. The documentaries become a bestseller. A convicted murderer becomes a legend.

This book is not that legend.

In Iceman: The Killings, The Lies, and the Making of a Mafia Legend, Michael I. Bryce dismantles the myth with cold precision. Anchored in FBI files, court documents, autopsy reports, and the testimony of the undercover agent who brought Kuklinski down, this is the first book to systematically separate documented fact from prison-cell fabrication.

Inside, you will discover:

• The five murders Kuklinski was actually convicted of — and the hundreds he falsely claimed

• How a suburban father from Dumont, New Jersey, hid a double life as a methodical killer for over twenty years

• The forensic truth behind the "Iceman" freezer method and how it finally failed

• Why HBO, publishers, and millions of viewers believed a lie — and what that says about our hunger for monsters

For readers of Wiseguy, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Gomorrah, this is not just true crime. It is the anatomy of a legend — and the definitive account of the Iceman.
