<p>At the age of twelve my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy. Being a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world.&quot;&quot; -- Henry Hill </p>

<p><em>Wiseguy</em> is Nicholas Pileggi's remarkable bestseller， the most intimate account ever printed of life inside the deadly high-stakes world of what some people call the Mafia. <em>Wiseguy</em> is Henry Hill's story， in fascinating， brutal detail， the never-before-revealed day-to-day life of a working mobster -- his violence， his wild spending sprees， his wife， his mistresses， his code of honor. </p>

<p>Henry Hill knows where a lot of bodies are buried， and he turned Federal witness to save his own life. The mob is still hunting him for what he reveals in <em>Wiseguy</em>: hundreds of crimes including arson， extortion， hijacking， and the $6 million Lufthansa heist， the biggest successful cash robbery in U.S. history， which led to ten murders. A firsthand account of the secret world of the mob， </p>

<p><em>Wiseguy</em> is more compelling than any novel.</p>
