Prizzi's Honor

Charley Partanna works as a hitman for the Prizzis, New York's most dangerous crime family. Irene Walker does, too—an LA-based tax consultant, she moonlights as a hitwoman. And now she's stolen a large sum of money for the mob—and it's Charley's job to find her. The catch? Charley is married to Irene. Faced with divided loyalties, he must make a choice—between the only family he's ever known and the woman he loves.

Prizzi's Honor was made into an award-winning film in 1985 starring Jack Nicholson, Robert Loggia, Kathleen Turner, and Anjelica Huston, who won an Academy Award for her performance. A compelling page-turner fueled by rich characterization and fast-paced prose, this book is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
