They were the DeMeo gang - the most deadly hit men in organized crime. Their Mafia higher-ups came to know, use, and ultimately fear them as the Murder Machine. They killed for profit and for pleasure, following cold-blooded plans and wild whims, from the mean streets of New York to the Florida Gold Coast, and from coast to coast. Now complete with personal revelations of one of the key players, this is the savage story that leaves no corpse unturned in its terrifying telling.

Story
John Gotti was without a doubt the flashiest and most feared Mafioso in American history. He became the boss of the Gambino Crime Family in spectacular fashion—with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Not one to stay below law enforcement’s radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss. His penchant for eye-catching apparel earned him the nickname “The Dapper Don;” his ability to beat criminal charges led to another: “The Teflon Don.”

Publisher's Summary
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS I HEARD YOU PAINT HOUSES
New York Times Best Seller
Now a major motion picture directed by Academy Award® winner Martin Scorsese, starring Academy Award® winners Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Anna Paquin, and Academy Award® nominee Harvey Keitel, and written by Academy Award® winner Steven Zaillian.
The Irishman “gives new meaning to the term ‘guilty pleasure.’’’ (Bryan Burrough, author of Public Enemies, in The New York Times Book Review)
“Told with such economy and chilling force as to make The Sopranos suddenly seem overwrought and theatrical.” (New York Daily News)
“A terrific read.” (Kansas City Star)
The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th Century. Spanning decades, Sheeran’s story chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and it offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics. Sheeran would rise to a position of such prominence that in a RICO suit against The Commission of La Cosa Nostra, the US Government would name him as one of only two non-Italians in conspiracy with the Commission. Sheeran is listed alongside the likes of Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano and Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno.
In the course of nearly five years of recorded interviews, Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he handled more than 25 hits for the mob, and Brandt turned Sheeran’s story into a binge-worthy true crime classic.

'Goodfellas'-like Biography. Superb Mob Story
Former Defence Attorney/Interrogation expert Charles Brandt pulls together a series of interviews with mob "fixer" Frank 'Irish' Sheeran to deliver a riveting first-person narrative of greed, violence, and cartoonish larger-than-life mafia figures...all surrounding the 1975 murder of Teamster Union President Jimmy Hoffa.
Small wonder Scorcese made this into a film.
Scott Brick is a true professional, and does an exceptional job reading this book. But you can certainly imagine Ray Liotta's voice recounting this engrossing tale.
Worthy of 9 out of 10 Stars.

My Favourite Mafia book
This book solves two murders unequivocally. Jimmy Hoffa and Joey Gallo.
The mystery of Jimmy Hoffas death has always fascinated me. This books recount of the man who pulled the trigger, Frank Sheeran, is compelling from beginning to end.
I highly recommend!

A must for fans of true crime and mob history
A captivating read, this book kept me hooked all the way through,
I’m won’t bother with a sysopsis, as I expect you already know that part. If you have any interest in true crime, mob history, gangster stories or you just want to hear the truth behind a couple of the 20th century’s greatest unsolved mysteries, look no further, this is your book!
