Book Description
From the author of Cigar City Mafia and Silent Don comes another fascinating look into gangland culture, this time focusing on the “”gentleman gangster”” Eddie Trascher. For 50 years, Trascher stole from mob-owned casinos, scammed gangsters and was one of the top bookies of the country. He capped his career as a confidential informant for the Florida law enforcement and was the source that allowed them to get inside the Trafficante Mafia family. Written with the help of Ken Sanz, the former Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent who was Trascher’s handler.
