A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The indictments of mobster mangled Boston continue to rain down in Howie Carr's superb new true-crime book, Hitman. It's horrifying, it's deadpan shocking, it's a brilliant treatise on criminal psychopathy and a portrait of a city defined and subverted by hoodlums run amok. Read this book--it will grab you, garrotte you, and leave you gasping for breath.--James Ellroy, bestselling author of American Tabloid and L.A. Confidential, on Hitman. It used to be Chicago that had all the brutal gangsters. Now it's Boston. Howie Carr weaves a frightening tale of unlawful conduct, and it's all true! --Bill O'Reilly on Hitman

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jack Reilly, a dodgy ex-Boston cop, is trying to make ends meet as a private investigator. When a client is killed, execution style, Reilly finds himself in a world of pain. Someone wants him dead - but why? To find out, Reilly must weed through thirty years of duplicity, corruption, and killing...a web of politicians dirtier than mobsters and criminals nobler than senators. He needs to uncover the dangerous truth behind the bribery, blood, and backdoor deals that define the highest levels of both organized crime and State House politics - before it's too late.
