Prizzis Honor by Richard Condon
A darkly funny novel of mobsters, murder, and marriage: The surprise ending will knock your reading glasses off. --The New York Times Charley Partanna works as a hitman for the Prizzis, New York's most dangerous crime family. When he meets Irene Walker, an LA-based tax consultant, it's pretty much love at first sight. But Irene also moonlights as a hit woman--and had a hand in a big-money heist in Vegas. Now Charley has been told that she's got to go. Faced with divided loyalties, he must make a choice--between the only family he's ever known and the woman he loves. A New York Times Notable Book and made into an award-winning film, Prizzi's Honor is a dark, rollicking read from an old pro at mixing satire with suspense (The New York Times).Richard Condon (1915-1966) began writing in 1957 after a brief career as an ad writer and Hollywood agency. His second novel, The Manchurian Candidate (1959), and the 1962 film adaptation of it made him a household name. Prizzi's Honor, his novel, was adapted into a popular film.
