Wiseguy – Nicholas Pileggi

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Edition: Abridged
Release date: September 1, 1990
Duration: 03:04:19

Nicholas Pileggi’s vivid, unvarnished, journalistic chronicle of the life of Henry Hill—the working-class Brooklyn kid who knew from age twelve that “to be a wiseguy was to own the world,” who grew up to live the highs and lows of the mafia gangster’s life—has been hailed as “the best book ever written on organized crime” (Cosmopolitan).

Henry Hill knows where a lot of the bodies are buried and he turned Federal witness to save his own life.

This is the true-crime bestseller that was the basis for Martin Scorsese’s film masterpiece GoodFellas, which brought to life the violence, the excess, the families, the wives and girlfriends, the drugs, the payoffs, the paybacks, the jail time, and the Feds…with Henry Hill’s crackling narration drawn straight out of Wiseguy and overseeing all the unforgettable action. “Nonstop…absolutely engrossing”

Unfortunately, only an abridged recording. I ran across a listing for 25anniversery “unabridged” recording - 3hr 3min

This is a new rip from disk. I kept it’s 9 tracks.

Posing as the jewel thief Donnie Brasco, FBI agent Joseph Pistone worked undercover for six years to infiltrate the flamboyant and deadly community of Mafia wise guys, captains and bosses.

This is also an abridged recording so I gave you a two-for-one.
