I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt

I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt

The screenplay adaptation of this New York Bestseller is currently in production to be directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro. A fascinating account of the dark side of American history and takes its title from the first words Jimmy Hoffa spoke to Frank Sheeran. In the course of nearly five years of interviews, Sheeran confessed to Brandt his involvement in multiple hits for the mob and his friend Hoffa. The result is a rich cultural history, told from the inside and the making of a true crime classic.

Born and raised in New York City, Charles Brandt is a former junior high school English teacher, welfare investigator in East Harlem, homicide prosecutor, and Chief Deputy Attorney General of the State of Delaware. As a prosecutor, he handled more than 50 homicide proceedings, four of which sent men to death row. In private practice since 1976, Brandt was a criminal defense attorney specializing in homicide for a decade, and has been president of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association and the Delaware Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates. He has been named by his peers to both Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers in Delaware. He is a frequent speaker on cross-examination and interrogation techniques for reluctant witnesses. Brandt is the author of a novel based on major cases he solved through interrogation, The Right to Remain Silent. He is also the co-author of Joe Pistone's Donnie Brasco: Unfinished Business and of Lin DeVecchio's We're Going to Win This Thing: The Shocking Frame-Up of a Mafia Crime Buster.
