Henry Hill knows where alot of bodies are buried, and he turned Federal witness to save his own life. The mob is still hunting him for waht he reveals in Wiseguy: hundreds of crimes including arson, extortion, hijackiong, and the six-million dollar Lufthansa heist, the biggest successful cash robbery in U.S. history which led to ten murders. A first-hand account of the secret world of the Mob, Wiseguyh is more extraordinary, more compelling than any novel.
