Alpert was kidnapped off the streets of Manhattan by a car full of gun-toting thugs looking to use his ATM card. He ended up blindfolded in a Brooklyn apartment as his captors changed their plans, alternately threatening him and his family, seeking legal advice, expounding on the gangsta life, and offering him the services of their prostitute girlfriends as a birthday present. All the while, Alpert, still blindfolded, talked with them, played on their attitudes and fears, and memorized every detail he could in the event that he ever managed to get out of there alive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Filled with immediacy, drama, and extraordinary characters, \u003ci\u003eThe Birthday Party\u003c\/i\u003e reads like a thriller-but every word is true.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Birthday Party: A Memoir of Survival | Stanley N Alpert | Paperback | 9780425219119 | Used: Very Good | True Crime 1600764 (temp: 6)","offer_id":48918098608280,"sku":"1600764","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61DXYn74rXL.jpg?v=1776978466","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/birthday-party-a-memoir-of-survival","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
