Now filmed as 'The Irishman' starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and
Joe Pesci 'I heard you paint houses' are the first words Jimmy
Hoffa ever spoke to Frank 'the Irishman' Sheeran. To paint a house
is to kill a man. The paint is the blood that splatters on the wall
and floors. In the course of nearly five years of recorded
interviews Frank Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he
handled more than twenty-five hits for the Mob, and for his friend
Hoffa. Sheeran learned to kill in the US Army, where he saw an
astonishing 411 days of active combat during World War 2. After
returning home he became a hustler and a hit man, working for
legenday crime boss Russell Bufalino. Eventually Sheeran would rise
to a position of such prominence that he was named as one of only
two non-Italians on a list of the twenty-six most wanted Mob
figures. When Bufalino ordered Sheeran to kill Hoffa, the Irishman
did the deed, knowing that if he refused, he would have been killed
himself. Sheeran's important and fascinating story includes brand
new information on other famous murders, and provides rare insight
into an infamous chapter in US and Mafia history. This is a page
turner that is destined to become a true-crime classic.
From the author of the #1 NYT bestseller I Heard You Paint Houses /
The Irishman Featuring the eyewitness testimony of Earlene Roberts
and Victor Robertson With this book, "Dallas" is now completely
solved, by a professional and rational analysis. Charles Brandt,
who handled over fifty-six homicides as the chief deputy attorney
general of Delaware, in charge of all homicides and a private
homicide defense attorney in the 1970s, has now used his hands-on
professional experience in murder investigation and his analytic
skills to conclusively solve every secret of the homicides of JFK,
Officer Tippit, and Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas in 1963. As well,
Brandt proves that "but for" the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion, the
Mafia would not have authorized any of these 1963 murders that form
the basis of Suppressing the Truth in Dallas. Brandt solves the
mysteries of Dallas for all time and exposes all the motives of
those, such as Chief Justice Earl Warren, who intentionally
attempted to suppress the truth.
