Join us on February 25 to discuss \;I Heard You Paint Houses \;By Charles Brandt ( E-Book) \; \; \; \;I Hea rd You Paint Houses: Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran and Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa \; \;by Charles Brandt (Hard Back)
\nTh e first words Jimmy Hoffa ever spoke to Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran were\ , "I heard you paint houses." 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 nea rly five years of recorded interviews\, Frank Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he handled more than twenty-five hits for the mob\, and for h is friend Hoffa.
\nAfter returning home from WWII Frank became a hus tler and hit man\, working for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino. Even tually he would rise to a position of such prominence that then-U.S. Attor ney 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 d id the deed\, knowing that if he had refused he would have been killed him self. Sheeran's story includes new information on other famous murders inc luding those of Joey Gallo and JFK\, and provides rare insight to a chapte r in American history.
