Synopsis "Mob City"

Reno was the first US city to fully embrace its destiny as a gaming capital, and even before gaming was legalized in 1931 the city was the place gangsters from Chicago and the Midwest headed for safety, sanctuary, and of course the booze, the broads, and the banking services to launder their kidnapping and hold-up loot. This book tells it all, from the first casinos in 1931, to the changes that came in the 1960's.Bank robbers like Alvin Karpis, kidnappers like Ma Barker and her sons, and even "Baby Face" Nelson came to stay, play, and enjoy the show.Reno had it all, and they had their own Mob who controlled the vices, legal or otherwise. Eventually, Lucky Luciano, Tony Accardo, Sam Giancana and others took note and joined the easy profits and the skim in Reno. This is the true story. The story of four men who ran things with no remorse. Coercion, arson, murder............
