      "Wisecracking cop Lou Razzi's zeal, dedication and talent for extracting information from suspects make him destined to rise quickly through the ranks ... until a frame-up sends him to jail for two years. He loses his career, his marriage, and his baby daughter, and following his release from prison, he leaves the country for a sort of self-imposed exile in Brazil. Fifteen years later, an exonerated, more hardened Razzi comes back to serve a single day on the force and claim his pension. But that one day becomes a continuing education when Razzi is drawn onto a conspiracy and finds his old police tools fruitless in the wake of the Miranda decision. Forced to learn, like a rookie, from his mistakes, he starts to find his way with the help of assistant district attorney Honey Gold. . . and is able to combat the powers that framed him then and thrive now in the new era of police procedure"-- Provided by publisher

      „Vraj maľuješ domy.“ Tak zneli prvé slová, ktorými Jimmy Hoffa oslovil Franka Sheerana. Medzi zasvätenými táto veta neodkazuje na farbu, ale na krv, ktorou nájomní vrahovia „vymaľujú“ domy svojich obetí. Sheeran, známy aj ako Ír, vybavil pre zlovestného gangstera Russella Bufalina a svojho kamaráta Hoffu až dvadsaťpäť objednávok tohto druhu. Sheeran k svojmu budúcemu remeslu pričuchol v Taliansku, kde strávil vyše štyristo dní na fronte počas druhej svetovej vojny. Po návrate domov sa z amerického vojaka stal podfukár a nájomný vrah. Írova nová kariéra zanedlho narástla do takých rozmerov, že ho vtedy ešte právnik Rudy Giuliani nazval jedným z dvoch najvplyvnejších netalianskych mafiánov. Keď Sheerana napokon Bufalino požiada, aby zavraždil aj Hoffu, Ír vie, že odmietnutie by ho stálo vlastný krk.Detaily tejto aj ďalších nájomných vrážd vrátane atentátu na Kennedyho rozpovedal Sheeran prokurátorovi Charlesovi Brandtovi. Vznikol tak strhujúci príbeh, ktorý sa stal klasikou kriminálnej literatúry.„Všetko je pravda.“ – detektív Joseph Coffey, newyorská polícia.

      Narrazione di grande potenza, il libro è un viaggio attraverso i corridoi nascosti del crimine organizzato, esplorando le sue dinamiche, rivalità e connessioni con la politica. La scomparsa di Jimmy Hoffa, leggendario leader sindacale e figura di grande potere, è uno dei misteri più affascinanti della storia americana. Hoffa, visto l'ultima volta il 30 luglio 1975, intratteneva rapporti con la mafia e le più alte cariche dello Stato, rendendolo un personaggio scomodo per molti. Frank Sheeran, l'Irlandese, uno dei pochi non italiani nella lista dei principali esponenti della criminalità organizzata, chiede di confessare i suoi crimini prima di morire. Durante anni di interviste con Charles Brandt, noto procuratore, rivela il suo coinvolgimento in oltre venticinque omicidi, incluso quello di Hoffa. La sua storia inizia come figlio della Grande Depressione, soldato in Italia durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, e culmina con il suo ruolo di sicario di fiducia nella Cupola di Cosa Nostra. Basandosi sulle sue confessioni, Brandt crea un racconto epico, con rivelazioni inedite sul coinvolgimento della mafia nell'assassinio dei Kennedy.
