Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Are you fascinated by the mafia Do you want to learn the stories of some of the deadliest men of the past one hundred years Do you want to know one of the many ways that the mafia managed to keep control over the USA for so many years One of the easiest ways that mafia bosses would keep control is to have hitmen working for them. Dangerous, cold-hearted men who killed without any thought whatsoever. Who were these men How did they become the way they were How did they kill Why did they kill In this book, we'll talk about many infamous mafia hitmen and answer the above questions about them. Just a few of the hitmen we'll be talking about include: ? Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and the reasons he became one of the most important flips on the mafia to date, plus, how he ended up in prison again for the second time ? Richard 'The Iceman' Kuklinski and the crazy ways he would get away with his murders and all the genius ways he'd get rid of a body ? Thomas Pitera and the years he spent in Japan studying samurai ? Giuseppe Greco and his death crew ? Joseph Barboza and the actual, totally crazy reason he was often referred to as 'The Animal.' ? Abe Reles and his mysterious death; he thought he was safe and he really wasn't; was he actually trying to escape or is there something far more sinister at play here ? Alexander Solonik and the absolutely incredible things he could do with two guns, and his never-ending determination to stay out of prison ? Benjamin Siegel, the father of Las Vegas and the only one who says it's potential to become what it is today It's hard to pinpoint the reason to why reading about these people, and their horrific crimes are so fascinating, but we're not here to explain that. We're just here to give you enjoyable, fascinating stories, and there's no shame in that. The stories in here are shocking, twisted, and pretty amazing. So, if you're interested in finding out about any of these men and how they got away with their crimes or just are interested in hitmen in general, this book is definitely a good part to start full of enjoyable stories.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the shadowed underworld where morality dissolves into profit, where death is not a passion but a transaction, the figure of the contract killer stands cold and deliberate, a professional merchant of mortality who turns murder into a business, and in these hundred true stories of professional assassins, the reader steps into the dim corridors of organized crime, political corruption, and whispered revenge, where every bullet fired carries a price tag and every heartbeat can be bought or silenced for the right amount, and the tales span continents and centuries, from the grim alleys of postwar Europe to the neon-soaked streets of modern cities, from mafia hitmen bound by blood oaths to intelligence operatives sanctioned by governments that deny their existence, each story unfolding like a noir film drenched in cigarette smoke and betrayal, and the killers themselves emerge as a chilling gallery of personalities, some coldly efficient and mechanical, others haunted by guilt or seduced by the thrill of control, but all united by a single principle-that life is a commodity, negotiable and expendable, and their weapons are extensions of their discipline, silenced pistols, garrotes, syringes, or explosives hidden in briefcases, instruments of precision chosen not for spectacle but certainty, and investigators who chase them often describe the eerie calm they leave behind, the clean crime scenes, the vanishing trails, the way witnesses recall nothing but a shadow moving through the crowd, and behind every hit lies a web of motives-jealous spouses, power-hungry politicians, rival gangsters, corporations eliminating threats-each murder orchestrated like a symphony of deceit, timing, and control, and as the stories unfold one after another, the reader begins to see not random acts of violence but an entire economy of death thriving in silence, run by men and women who blend into the fabric of normal life until the moment they pull the trigger, vanish into the night, and move on to the next name on the list, and what makes these accounts so terrifying is their realism, their lack of passion, for unlike the crimes of rage or love, contract killing is methodical, detached, the ultimate expression of human cruelty stripped of emotion, and by the end of these hundred stories the realization settles like a weight-that in every city, in every era, somewhere a phone is ringing, a deal is being made, and a life is being quietly erased by someone who kills not for hate, not for justice, but simply because it is their job.…
