About the author

Starting as a tough kid and thief on the streets of Chicago, he went on to become a trusted lieutenant in Tony Spilotro's gang of organized lawbreakers in Las Vegas.

Cullotta's world was one of high-profile heists, street muscle and information-lots of it-about many of the FBI's most wanted. In the end, that information was his ticket out of crime, as he turned government witness and became one of a handful of mob insiders to enter the Witness Protection Program.

Love this book! I finished the book in two days. So much to tell from this author. I couldn't put this book down.

I really liked this book. The main subject -- Frank Culotta -- is certainly not a sympathetic character. He worked for the Mob and committed many crimes and then turned informant to save his own live and is pretty much unapologetic for his criminal life. But his life is certainly interesting.

If you've ever seen the movie "Casino" you will recognize Frank Culotta. He played a Mob hit man in the movie and many of the events depicted in the movie he was involved in directly. Frank was the top lieutenant of Tony Spilontro -- the real life Mobster on whom Joe Pesci's character was based.

The book contains colorful language but the writer definitely capture Culotta's voice. It is an easy and quick read and keeps you interested. If you enjoyed Casino, you will definitely enjoy reading the real story of Frank Culotta.

Don't buy this book, check it out at the library. No sense in enriching criminals. Still, read it. Very good and well paced story about the Chicago Outfit, Cullotta, Las Vegas crime in the 70's and 80's, and the making of the movie Casino. The story does erase some of the romantic B.S. and tough-guy fantasy of what the mob was and is. It was successful so long because it was made up of immoral and violent people.

Author did a good job telling the story. Book was easy to read, told the facts ,but didn't drone on.
