Book ID/图书代码： 05170014B68503
English Summary/英文概要： The inside story—from the organizer himself--of the largest cash haul in history. The full account that brings the reader behind the heist memorialized in Goodfellas that has baffled law enforcement for decades. From Henry Hill himself, in the last book he worked on before his 2012 death.
On December 11th, 1978, a daring armed robbery rocked Kennedy Airport, resulting in the largest unrecovered cash haul in world history--totaling six million dollars. The perpetrators were never apprehended and thirteen people connected to the crime were murdered in homicides that, like the crime itself, remain unsolved to this day. The burglary has fascinated the public for years, dominating headlines around the globe due to the story’s unending ravel of mysteries that baffled the authorities, it being the subject of two different TV movies and a centerpiece of Martin Scorsese’s iconic gangster film Goodfellas. One of the organizers of the sensational burglary, Henry Hill, who passed away in 2012, in collaboration with Daniel Simone, has penned an unprecedented “tell-all” about the robbery with never-before-unveiled details, particulars only known to an insider.
Last month, this infamous criminal act again flared up in the national news when five reputed gangsters were charged in connection to the robbery. This latest twist lends the project an extraordinary sense of timing, and the legal proceedings of the newly arrested suspects will unfold over the next eighteen months, continuing to keep the Lufthansa topic in the news.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是美国有史以来规模最为庞大的一次现金劫持案件。本书全面的叙述会让读者回想起一部经典黑帮电影《好家伙/盗亦有道》中，劫机事件发生后所导致司法部门对此案数十年侦破的徒劳。这部作品是曾一度在纽约黑帮驰骋30多年的亨利•希尔在2012年逝世前的最后一部作品。
1978年12月11日，美国肯尼迪机场上演了一幕惊心动魄的武装劫持案，导致了在史上最大的规模的一次现金流失案，总计六百万美元。肇事者从未被抓捕到，与此案有关的十三个人全部遇害，如同这起案件一样，至今依然是一个未解之谜。这起窃案多年来一直吸引着公众的注意，由于事件背后错综复杂的神秘案情一直困扰着当局，从而使之成为全球媒体关注的头条新闻，根据这起真实故事，媒体还将其改编成电视剧和电影，其中最具标志性的当属马丁•斯科塞斯的黑帮片《好家伙/盗亦有道》。这起耸人听闻案件组织者之一的亨利•希尔，已於2012年去世，本书是他生前与丹尼尔•西蒙合作，首次破天荒地“全盘揭秘”这起劫案背后的所有内幕和细节。
上个月，当五名与此案相关的黑帮人物遭到逮捕之时，这起臭名昭著的案件又再度在全国媒体掀起了渲染大波，最近的这次峰回路转使得这起扑簌迷离的案件独具有一种时代感，对最新被捕的嫌疑人的法律诉讼也将在未来的18个月里展开，估计汉莎航空的这起事件还将继续引发新的话题。(Sandy)
