Please visit WWW.HOFFASOLVED.COM "Is Sheeran believable? Very . . . and ' I Heard You Paint Houses ' is a very enjoyable book." -- Trial Magazine "A page-turning account of one man's descent into the mob." -- Delaware News Journal "Sheeran's confession that he killed Hoffa in the manner described in the book is supported by the forensic evidence, is entirely credible, and solves the Hoffa mystery." - Michael Baden, M.D., former Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York "I'm fully convinced - now - that Sheeran was in fact the man who did the deed. And I'm impressed, too, by the book's readability and by its factual accuracy in all areas on which I'm qualified to pass judgment. Charles Brandt has solved the Hoffa mystery." -- Professor Arthur Sloane, author of Hoffa "One of Sheeran's virtues was his gift as a storyteller; one of his flaws was his tendency to murder, in mobster jargon, 'to paint houses.' . . . Sheeran acknowledged that he was the one who killed the Teamsters boss. . . . On July 30, 1975, Hoffa disappeared. Sheeran explains how he did it, in prose reminiscent of the best gangster films." - Associated Press "Told with such economy and chilling force as to make The Sopranos suddenly seem overwrought and theatrical." -- New York Daily News "Brandt's book gives new meaning to the term 'guilty pleasure.'" -- Bryan Burrough in the New York Times Book Review "A terrific read." -- Kansas City Star, Please visit WWW.CHARLESBRANDTAUTHOR.COM "One of Sheeran's virtues was his gift as a storyteller; one of his flaws was his tendency to murder, in mobster jargon, 'to paint houses.' . . . Although he professed his loyalty to Hoffa - he said on one occasion, 'I'll be a Hoffa man 'til they pat my face with a shovel and steal my cufflinks' âˆ’ Sheeran acknowledged that he was the one who killed the Teamsters boss. . . . On July 30, 1975, Hoffa disappeared. Sheeran explains how he did it, in prose reminiscent of the best gangster films." -- Associated Press "Sheeran's confession that he killed Hoffa in the manner described in the book is supported by the forensic evidence, is entirely credible, and solves the Hoffa mystery." -- Michael Baden M.D., former Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York I Heard You Paint Houses "gives new meaning to the term 'guilty pleasure.' It promises to clear up the mystery of Hoffa's demise, and appears to do so. Sheeran not only admits he was in on the hit, he says it was he who actually pulled the trigger -- and not just on Hoffa but on dozens of other victims, including many, he alleges, dispatched on Hoffa's orders. This last seems likely to spur a reappraisal of Hoffa's career. . . . Sheeran is Old School, and his tale is admirably free of self-pity and self-aggrandizeÂment. Without getting all Oprah about it, he admits he was an alcoholic and a lousy father. His business was killing people, and . . . he did it with little muss, fuss or introspection.'' -- Bryan Burrough, author of Public Enemies , in The New York Times Book Review "Is Sheeran believable?

Synopsis

July 30, 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance... "Back then, there wasn't nobody in this country who didn't know who Jimmy Hoffa was." -- Frank Sheeran (played by Robert DeNiro) in Martin Scoresese's film The Irishman - New York Times Bestseller -- #1 True Crime Bestseller The inspiration for the major motion picture, THE IRISHMAN. "The best Mafia book I ever read, and believe me, I read them all." -- Steven Van Zandt "Charles Brandt has solved the Hoffa mystery." -- Professor Arthur Sloane, author of Hoffa "Sheeran's confession that he killed Hoffa in the manner described in the book is supported by the forensic evidence, is entirely credible, and solves the Hoffa mystery." -- Michael Baden M.D., former Chief Medical Examiner of the City of New York "It's all true." -- New York Police Department organized crime homicide detective Joe Coffey "Gives new meaning to the term 'guilty pleasure.''' -- The New York Times Book Review **Includes an Epilogue and a Conclusion that detail substantial post-publication corroboration of Frank Sheeran's confessions to the killings of Jimmy Hoffa and Joey Gallo. "I heard you paint houses" are the first words Jimmy Hoffa ever spoke to Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran. To paint a house is to kill a man. The paint is the blood that splatters on the walls and floors. In the course of nearly five years of recorded interviews, Frank Sheeran confessed to Charles Brandt that he handled more than twenty-five hits for the mob, and for his friend Hoffa. He also provided intriguing information about the Mafia's role in the murder of JFK. Sheeran learned to kill in the US Army, where he saw an astonishing 411 days of active combat duty in Italy during World War II. After returning home he became a hustler and hit man, working for legendary crime boss Russell Bufalino. Eventually Sheeran would rise to a position of such prominence that in a RICO suit the US government would name him as one of only two non-Italians in conspiracy with the Commission of La Cosa Nostra, alongside the likes of Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano and Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno. When Bufalino ordered Sheeran to kill Hoffa, the Irishman did the deed, knowing that if he had refused he would have been killed himself. Charles Brandt's page-turner has become a true crime classic., New York Times Bestseller -- #1 True Crime Bestseller The inspiration for the major motion picture, THE IRISHMAN.
