Story5 out of 5 stars 5
Las Vegas, 1970s - a golden age of Glitter Gulch corruption. Dennis Gomes - the youngest division chief in Gaming Control Board history - whipped a ragtag group of auditors into hardened, gun-slinging investigators, and shattered clichés about milquetoast accountant cops. Coming within a hair’s breadth of death more than once, Gomes capped off his tenure with the famous bust of the Stardust skim, portrayed in the book and movie Casino.

Great story about old Vegas, the last days of the mob, gaming enforcement, a great man and a love story.
Well written and read well… this was an enjoyable listen. Nice to go back to The Peppermill for a few minutes too!

But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever.

The story was entertaining and had a good build up, but in the end there wasn't a lot there.
