They called him The Ice Man, "The Champion" of the Italian-American Cosa Nostra, the most sinister rat-killer on the face of the Earth. This book offers an unprecedented clinical analysis of Richard Leonard Kuklinski's psycho-homicidal excursus, from ruthless and anonymous serial killer to blasphemous and highly sought-after contract killer. The volume also reconstructs, through his interviews and confessions, the plots and historical-criminological dynamics of the 20th century Mafia's invisible hand, the preferred instigator of its most gruesome contract killings.
