Richard Condon Książki

Cherley Partanna, egzekutor Prizzich, pierwszą robotę dla "rodziny" wykonał, kiedy jeszcze nosił krótkie spodenki. Odtąd nie było na niego mocnych. Chyba że chodziło o kobietę. Irene Walker, córka polskiego gangstera, zarabiała na ulicy, póki nie poświęciła się... doradztwu podatkowemu. A także takim dorywczym pracom jak egzekucje na zlecenie i obrabianie kasyn. Ostatni odstrzał zlecili jej Prizzi. Niestety, do nich też należało obrobione kasyno... Władza i pieniądze, zdrada i krew, miłość i dobra włoska kuchnia - w tej książce jest wszystko, czego człowiekowi trzeba do życia.

When its real, Conspiracy is no longer a theory

By day Charley Partanna is a hit man for the Prizzi family. By night he studies for his high school equivalency exam--when he's not juggling two gorgeous women. But these two may be more than even Charley can handle. One, Mardell, is a knockout, one-third fantasy and two-thirds legs. The other, Maerose, is Charley's boss's granddaughter. She's hungry for power, honor...and Charley...usually in that order. And she doesn't want to share. For Charley, it's a problem that he needs to solve--but his hormones keep getting in the way. "Cheerful and funny...foaming with perversity, rascality, obsessional religious mania, assault and battery and our old friends greed and lust." (Time)
