Eddie Trascher was a gentleman gangster, but he never wanted to be part of the mob. For 50 years, from the pre-Castro Havana casinos to Los Angeles, Trascher stole from mob-owned casinos, scammed gangsters, and was one of the top bookies in the country. He capped his career as a confidential informant for Florida law enforcement and was the source for getting inside the Trafficante Mafia family.

Balls is written by Scott Dietche and Ken Sanz. Sanz is a former Florida Department of Law enforcement special agent, and was Eddie's handler and friend for over 20 years.

Balls is an entertaining tale of Eddie Trascher's story. I really enjoyed learning more about old Vegas and seeing how Eddie's life evolved over time. I would have liked it better if the book was written in more of a story format, and I feel like biographies lend themselves to that style. I can see how this could make a really great Netflix/HBO series. Overall, great, interesting story, just now quite my style preference.
