HIT NO. 29 Based on the Killer's Own Account

Hardback. 1st UK Edn. Joey became a hit man for the Mafia when he was sixteen, killing for cash, killing because he had a contract, killing because that's how it is in Mob Land. Joey was real, those he murdered were real too...once. In his explosive bestseller 'Killer' Joey confessed to 38 murders. Here he zeroes in on his 29th killing and comes out with the most intimate and appalling self-portrait ever of a mob-killer at work. From the moment Jackie Sweetlips, the mob's 'buttonman', contacted him, handed over $20,000 and told him 'Burn Squillante', Joey knew this hit was different. For one thing, Sweetlips hated him and, as he tracked down his victim, Joey himself was followed. And it all happened the way he describes it in his blunt, side-of-the-mouth prose. Killer without a conscience, a true son-of-a-bitch and a functioning member of a very sick society, Joey will have your palms sweating and your stomach turning over with his tale. 248pp. 8vo. h/back.
