On The Hill, it can be hard to separate politics from big business and organized crime. Welcome to the web of lies, deceit, fraud, and deception that surrounds The Hill and explains why our government is so dysfunctional, our national health programs such a mess, and health care reform is doomed to failure. Written by a former U.S. Senate investigator, counsel, and staff director and based on true events, The Hill is a compelling tale of corruption. From The Hill: "It is said Sam "The Snake" Siciliano earned his nickname while he was in the porn industry. There was no evidence of that in the neatly tailored suit he now wore, any more than there was any reason to believe this mild looking, elderly man had killed two dozen men and arranged the death of many more. He looked more like the owner of the local pizzeria than a hit man. His smile was amiable, his eyes opaque and unfocused behind thick, black-framed glasses. His body was so thin he almost appeared frail. Still, it didn't take a lot of muscle to pull the trigger on a .22 automatic."
