Richard Kuklinski

I recently read a novel title "The Ice Man, Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer" by Philip Carlo about the notorious hitman Richard Kuklinski. The book is a fascinating look at the mafia underworld through the eyes of a hitman. Since Kuklinski was Polish he could not officially join the Mafia, however killing was a seemingly natural part of his life and that is what he excelled at.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone to get just a look at the darker side of a man who seemed so normal. The book is a fascinating read and will have you almost rooting for the bad guy. Only after I finished did I realize this was not an entertainment book, it's a biography of a real life bad guy.

Kuklinski on Wiki 

Richard "The Iceman" or "The Polack" Kuklinski (April 11, 1935 - March 5, 2006) was a convicted murderer and notorious contract killer. He worked for several Italian-American crime families, and claimed to have murdered over 200 men over a career that lasted 30 years; he killed his first victim at age 18.Carlo, Philip The Ice Man, Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer, p. 26, and rear cover, HarperCollinsPublishers, 2006, Sydney ISBN 978-0-7322-8496-1 ISBN 0-7322-8496-1 He was the older brother of the convicted rapist and murderer Joseph Kuklinski.

Jimmy Hoffa

Supposedly Kuklinski knows who killed the famous Hoffa and where he ended up. You may be driving him.

Gambino Associates 

The Gambino crime family is one of the "Five Families" that controls organized crime activities based in New York City, United States, within the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the Mafia (or Cosa Nostra). Based in New York City, the group's operations extend to much of the eastern seaboard and all across the nation to California. Its illicit activities include labor and construction racketeering, gambling, loansharking, extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, prostitution, murder for hire, solid and toxic waste dumping violations, construction, building and cement violations, fraud and wire fraud, hijacking, pier thefts and fencing.

Fight it out! 

What do you think? He refused to kill women or children and only targeted those associated with the Mafia, either directly or sought help from the Mob.

Was Kuklinski a good guy or bad guy?

I think evil people can always find a way to justify what they've done and claim to have morals.
