Richard "The Ice Man" Kuklinski led a double life beyond anything ever seen on The Sopranos, becoming one of the most notorious professional assassins in American history while hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Now, after 240 hours of face-to-face interviews with Kuklinski and his wife and daughters, author Philip Carlo tells his extraordinary story. Kuklinski was Sammy "The Bull" Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano at Spark's Steakhouse. John Gotti hired him to kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, he would make victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with cold-hearted intensity, never disappointing his customers. By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking enormous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique. Kuklinski's story, once known, captivated the public and became the subject of three HBO documentaries about which the New York Times raved "Few viewers are ever likely to forget this thoroughly chilling portrait. As for possible movie competition, it would work on the level of The Silence of the Lambs."… (mere)

Couldn't finish this book. Read like it was written by a 16 yo. Also i don't believe half the stuff that was written. I was so looking forward to this book and it so disappointed me. ( )

un libro muy muy muy bueno. es impresionante la manera en la cual te enganchas, es muy facil de leer y sin embargo es uno de los libros mas tristes, aterradorers, impactantes, sordidos y oscuros que he podido leer. especialmente cuando te das cuenta que lo que estas leyendo, no es ficción. ( )

4.5 stars. Very good book.
I don't know what it is with Mister Carlo but he has a gift to make the meanest people seem human. He shows us not only the negative sides but also some of the good. That was the case with Richard Ramirez and now with Richard Kuklinski.
I thought I would not like Mafia books but this book proved me wrong. These guys are so cruel. Sometimes it was even for me, an avid true crime reader hard to swallow. (oops no point intended) ;) ( )

This was an excellent book. It is about a very prolific serial killer and it contains thrills and action than the average fiction crime book. It really is an amazing story and the writing captures that. Richard Kuklinski is less interesting in some respects than other serial killers because he's quite sane, but I still enjoyed it. ( )

Durante más de cuarenta años, Richard Kuklinski, «el Hombre de Hielo», vivió una doble vida que superó con creces lo que se puede ver en Los Soprano. Aunque se había convertido en uno de los asesinos profesionales más temibles de la historia de los Estados Unidos, no dejaba de invitar a sus vecinos a alegres barbacoas en un barrio residencial de Nueva Jersey.

Richard Kuklinski participó, bajo las órdenes de Sammy Gravano, «el Toro», en la ejecución de Paul Castellano en el restaurante Sparks. John Gotti lo contrató para que matara a un vecino suyo que había atropellado a su hijo accidentalmente. También desempeñó un papel activo en la muerte de Jimmy Hoffa.

Kuklinski cobraba un suplemento cuando le encargaban que hiciera sufrir a sus víctimas. Realizaba este sádico trabajo con dedicación y con fría eficiencia, sin dejar descontentos a sus clientes jamás.

Según sus propios cálculos, mató a más de doscientas personas, y se enorgullecía de su astucia y de la variedad y contundencia de las técnicas que empleaba. Además, Kuklinski viajó para matar por los Estados Unidos y en otras partes del mundo, como Europa y América del Sur. Mientras tanto, se casó y tuvo tres hijos, a los que envió a una escuela católica.

Su hija padecía una enfermedad por la que tenía que estar ingresada con frecuencia en hospitales infantiles, donde el padre se ganó una buena reputación por su dedicación como padre y por el cariño y las atenciones que prestaba a los demás niños.

Su familia no sospechó nada jamás. Desde prisión, Kuklinski accedió conceder una serie de entrevistas.
