Wiseguy;

Nicholas Pileggi€s vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hill€"the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that €œto be a wiseguy was to own the world,€ who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster€s life€"has been hailed as €œthe best book ever written on organized crime€ (Cosmopolitan).

This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese€s film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds€¦with Henry Hill€s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action.

Read it and experience the secret life inside the mob€"from one who€s lived it.
