Then One Day…
Subtitled '40 Years of Bookmaking in Nevada'. Chris Andrews was destined to be a bookmaker. Growing up under the watchful eye and influence of his Uncle Jack Franzi, legendary Pittsburgh wiseguy and Las Vegas sportsbook pioneer, Chris started booking sports bets in the fifth grade. He followed Uncle Jack to Las Vegas shortly after graduating college in the mid-’70s, landing his first job in the sports book at the Stardust right after the bad-old Frank Rosenthal and Chicago mob regime. Next, he moved to the Barbary Coast where he started handling major action, one time “losing” $250,000 on an eight-hour shift. At age 25, Chris became the youngest sports book director in the business at the Club Cal Neva in Reno. He started to make his mark on the industry, inventing the pleaser and 10-point teaser cards, introducing Super Bowl-style prop bets for Monday Night Football games, and, perhaps most importantly, giving Roxy Roxborough, Las Vegas’ most influential oddsmaker, his first paying job. Then One Day... delves deeply into the consciousness of a legitimate bookmaker and sports bettor. By the time you finish this memoir, you’ll be an expert in the language and customs of legalized gambling on sporting events, which, now that the Supreme Court has opened the door, is finally set to explode throughout the nation.

When Capone’s Mob Murdered Roger Touhy
Subtitled "The Strange Case of Touhy, Jake the Barber and the Kidnapping That Never Happened'. When Prohibition ruled America in the 1920's, it produced a lawless decade and lawless citizens. A mob boss like Al Capone became not only the era's leading bootlegger but also a pioneer and kingpin in the union extortion racket, a golden source of easy money and underworld power. But there was another major crime figure in the windy city as well; a gangster who emerged from the poverty-drenched Irish slum section in Chicago known as the Valley. His name was Roger Touhy, the son of an honest Chicago policeman and the youngest of the six so-called "Terrible Touhy" brothers. Together the brothers ruled over a small but strong criminal empire on the city's outskirts, manufacturing and distributing beer, running unions and supporting their war against Capone's criminal syndicate through a series of widespread and lucrative robberies of the U.S. mail. This is the story of Roger Touhy's turbulent life. Bibliography Photographs 267 Pgs. 2001 Hardcover
