Summary:

Like, greed and betrayal in the NEVADA mob.

For years it was an ideal arrangement — Lefty offered the smarts and obsessive attention to details, while Tony ensured the bosses remained happy with their every week suitcases filled up with millions of dollars in skimmed money. It was so sweet it will have lasted permanently, but Lefty’s obsession with working the city — and Tony’s obsession with Lefty’s gorgeous showgirl wife Geri — ultimately led to the betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the greatest debacles in the mob’s history.
