If you liked Boardwalk Empire . . . . you will enjoy reading "The Last Good Time" by Jonathan Van Meter, published in 2003; long before Boardwalk Empire was a thought by film makers.
First hand stories about Nucky Thompson, Skinny D'Amato, 500 Club and several other illegal gambling houses in A.C., Cal-Neva casino, Frank Sinatra, many mobster stories, Kennedys, corrupt politicians, the Kefaufer hearings, etc. A fascinating story and a book hard to put down. Request it from your local library.
