It follows the intertwining lives of a host of colorful characters each with lofty aspirations and even more intense secrets: "Boxman" Jack, a budding casino owner and subsequent mob middleman. "Blind" Pollack, Jack's humbly loyal assistant and casino Vice-President. "Railbird" Bloodgood, an ex-con and casino bouncer. "Snake Eyes" Anzari, a Vegas restaurateur moonlighting as a mob consigliore. "French" Asimov, a ruthless mob kingpin. "Shill" Moss, the city's most imperishable cop.

The story is set in the perfect city, it is highly charged, dangerous, exciting, all characteristics of sin city. I highly anticipate the sequel to the book. Also, think the book would present well as a movie. Way to go Brady Moore, excellent book. I recommend to everyone. [by Igor03]
