"The shocking, highly controversial expose of the venality, greed, and corruption of many of the assorted kingpins and hustlers who rule over the music industry. "A sobering, blunt, and unusually well-observed depiction of the sometimes sordid inner workings of the music business." -- Billboard.

Hit Men is a gripping, chilling account of the dark side of the music industry. For the uninitiated, the book reads as though it may be fiction, but the widespread corruption and deceit in evidence throughout is the result of extensive, well-documented research extending to all aspects of the industry.

Covering several decades of subject matter, there is an abundance of thoroughly entertaining stories of some of the most notorious con men outside of the Mafia. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics behind the hits, the hidden chain of command that has almost always controlled the charts.
