Hit 29: Based on the Killer's Own Account

Book Description
After the crime-primer success of Joey the Hitman, Hit 29 takes readers on a stranger-than-fiction journey of one actual hit taken on by Jewish hitman, numbers king, and loan shark "Joey." But the twenty-ninth contract hit Joey has taken on (without a conviction) turns out to be a lot more complicated than it first appears. As recounted in Joey’s patented matter-of-fact, regular-guy tone, the target, a low-level numbers "controller," turns out to be an old acquaintance from the neighborhood, the client is a man who once tried to have Joey hit, and there are enough twists and double-backs—not to mention fascinatingly credible mob details and color—to keep Soprano fans up all night. This New York Times best-seller, soon to be a major motion picture from Paramount, is a true-crime classic.

HIT #29 is the classic insider account of a Mob murder -- told by the killer who made the hit. The killer is Joey -- author (also with David Fisher) of the classic New York Times bestseller Joey the Hitman: The Autobiography of a Mafia Killer, and a man who committed thirty-eight murders for hire. Joey's style -- cool, wise-cracking and disturbingly human -- is a reminder that real life mobsters are people, too. But his Sopranos-like account of his 29th murder is a reminder that while Joey may be a good guy, he is a very bad man.
