Thank-you, Robert Graysmith for the Early Praise!
Early praise for The King of Casinos: Willie Martello & The El Rey Club
"Who
else could tell the story of the Man in the White Hat, Willie Martello,
that rollicking whirlwind of flamboyance, town builder, casino and
brothel owner and favorite of Sinatra’s Rat Pack, but another rollicking
whirlwind of flamboyance and comic verve: Andy Martello.
The rare photos alone are worth the price of admission.
My only regret is that I didn’t write this book."
