Since Kuklinski had worked for Mafia capo Roy DeMeo, I also visited the building that had been DeMeo’s infamous Gemini Lounge in Brooklyn where many murders had occurred. Kuklinski had lived in Dumont for years while he worked as a contract killer for the mafia – something he never involved or ever informed his family about. ![]() Seeing what that neighborhood looked like today, finding where his house sits, experiencing what the air and sounds are like there informed my insight in a primary way that complements text and the documentaries can only inform about. In August of 2012 I flew to New Jersey to visit Kuklinski’s former house in Dumont. I also reviewed the three HBO documentary interviews with Kuklinski and began to think about visiting some of the locales mentioned within Carlo’s text. The early spring of 2012 marked a little over a year since my first reading of Philip Carlo’s book “The Ice Man” – a book about the life and times of mafia hit man Richard Kuklinski.
