At the heart of this true tale of love, revenge, and murder Mafia-style are some of the most memorable characters in mob lore: Lefty, the brains of the mob's Vegas casinos; Tony Spilotro, the mob's muscle; and Geri, Lefty's adulterous show-girl wife. During Hill’s imprisonment, he learns how to game the system for reduced time: “One month I managed to string together so many furloughs, days off, and religious holidays that the joint wound up owing me a day. First, the it was slightly more fast paced than I expected, with a couple of exceptions here and there. The book is focused primarily on Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the notorious casino strongman and "skimmer" who, with the help of Frank Culotta, Tony Spilotro, and others managed to make himself and the Chicago outfit a fortune with his thumb on the gambling operations at The Sands and The Fremont during the 1970's. One of these direct inspirations is the upcoming Barry Levinson ( Rain Man) movie Alto Knights, previously titled Wise Guys.His wife Karen is also heard from directly, to add another dimension – what it’s like to marry into the Mafia family. Fans of Goodfellas will have trouble putting this book down, especially with the extra content Wiseguys is packed with about Hill's life that didn't make it into the final cut of Martin Scorsese's mob masterpiece. The studio, run by Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, do have Joker: Folie a Deux as their first greenlight. Wiseguy" 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.

Henry Hill led a life of crime that would have most of us in a constant mental whirl, - so many schemes running simultaneously. Wiseguy gives the history of mobsters Tommy DeSimone—a psychopath whose brother was a rat, a shame that fueled his violence—and Jimmy Burke—who was abused as a child before becoming such a consummate thief that rival mob families negotiated a way to share his services—but that background can only illuminate so much when they’re essentially experienced secondhand. It reads more like a mixture of an MTV True Life episode mixed in with some History Channel narration than it does like a story about an ambitious mobsters rise and fall in the land of ol' Las Vegas. It was there that, on June 11, 1970, Burke and DeSimone murdered William Bentvena (also known as William "Billy Batts" Devino), a made man with the Gambino crime family and a close friend of Gambino family captain John Gotti.Finally, Burke was as much of a hothead as DeSimone, in contrast to the relative restraint of De Niro’s Conway; Pileggi tells harrowing stories about his casual murders, including one where he chopped his girlfriend’s ex into a dozen pieces. Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, a pair of Italian Americans who run two separate crime families in the mid-20th century.
