Dennis N. Griffin

    Con un background forgiato in vent'anni di indagini e forze dell'ordine a New York, questo autore si è dedicato alla scrittura, iniziando il suo primo romanzo nel 1996. Il suo lavoro si addentra negli aspetti più oscuri della malavita, esplorando le complessità del crimine e le sue ripercussioni. L'autore non rifugge dal realismo crudo, sfruttando spesso la sua vasta conoscenza delle forze dell'ordine per infondere nelle sue narrazioni autenticità e suspense. I suoi scritti sono una testimonianza dell'eterno fascino per il coinvolgimento della psiche umana con il lato oscuro della vita.

    The Battle for Las Vegas: The Law vs. The Mob
    • King of the Strip From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, the Chicago Outfit dominated organized crime in Las Vegas. Unreported revenue, known as the "skim," from Outfit-controlled casinos made its way out of Vegas by the bagful, ending up in the coffers of the Windy City crime bosses and their confederates around the Midwest. To ensure the smooth flow of cash, the gangsters installed a front man with no criminal background, Allen R. Glick, as the casino owner of record, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal as the real boss of casino operations, and Tony Spilotro as the ultimate enforcer, who'd do whatever it took to protect their interests. It wasn't long before Spilotro, also in charge of Vegas street crime, was known as the "King of the Strip." Federal and local law enforcement, recognizing the need to rid the casinos of the mob and shut down Spilotro's rackets, declared war on organized crime. The Battle for Las Vegas relates the story of the fight between the tough guys on both sides, told in large part by the agents and detectives who knew they had to win.
