To be a wiseguy was to own the world." -- Henry Hill</blockquote><P><i>Wiseguy</i> is Nicholas Pileggi's remarkable bestseller, the most intimate account ever printed of life inside the deadly high-stakes world of what some people call the Mafia. <i>Wiseguy</i> is Henry Hill's story, in fascinating, brutal detail, the never-before-revealed day-to-day life of a working mobster -- his violence, his wild spending sprees, his wife, his mistresses, his code of honor.<P>Henry Hill knows where a lot of bodies are buried, and he turned Federal witness to save his own life. The mob is still hunting him for what he reveals in <i>Wiseguy</i>: hundreds of crimes including arson, extortion, hijacking, and the $6 million Lufthansa heist, the biggest successful cash robbery in U.S. history, which led to ten murders. A firsthand account of the secret world of the mob,<P><i>Wiseguy</i> is more compelling than any novel.<P> 851194 2 1 1989 Wise Guy total:6|5:2|3:4| 6 22 8 0 0 0 false false Tue May 12 04:06:14 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 04:06:14 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Apr 27 17:33:03 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 17:33:03 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Aug 25 17:57:44 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 17:57:46 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Aug 20 18:17:55 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 18:18:04 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Apr 20 21:18:44 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 21:18:44 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Apr 17 06:22:37 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 06:22:37 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Apr 08 14:06:20 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 14:06:20 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Mar 31 16:50:07 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 16:50:07 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=865792
