"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 walls 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 U.S. Army, where he saw an astonishing 411
days of active combat duty in Italy during World War II. After
returning home he became a hustler and hit man, working for
legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino. Eventually he would rise to
a position of such prominence that in a RICO suit then-U.S.
Attorney Rudy Giuliani would name him as one of only two
non-Italians on a list of 26 top mob figures. When Bufalino ordered
Sheeran to kill Hoffa, he did the deed, knowing that if he had
refused he would have been killed himself. Sheeran''s important and
fascinating story includes new information on other famous murders,
and provides rare insight to a chapter in American history. Charles
Brandt has written a page-turner that is destined to become a true
crime classic.
