Of Rats and Men: Oscar Goodman?s Life From Mob Mouthpiece to Mayor of Las Vegas (2003) by Review-Journal columnist John L. Smith just came out last week, and is literally flying off the shelves at local bookstores. It does just what the title tells, covering Goodman?s life as a defense attorney for the mob, including Meyer Lansky, Anthony Spilotro, and Frank Rosenthal (just to name a few), for over 35 years to his current gig as twice-elected mayor of Sin City. The writing is fluid, the story compelling (at least, what I?ve read so far!), and it promises to be another fine book from the man who has written excellent books on the Ted Binion murder trial, Steve Wynn, and Bob Stupak. We are currently offering this book at 20% off the regular $25.95 price!

FYI, I went to the book signing the other day, and it was a ?mob?house!

Enjoy!
