Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I owned the hottest club in Las Vegas, called Gianni Russo’s State Street. I was able to attract my celebrity friends, who in turn drew high-rolling tourists and politicians looking for photo ops. The club was a success from the start. #2 I had come a long way from being a crippled, tough New York kid with little formal education and no prospects for the future. I was successful and loving every minute of it. I heard the commotion before I knew what was causing it. Gales of laughter, shouts across the room in greeting, and boisterous applause for my piano player. #3 I was stabbed in the face by a broken champagne bottle between the eyes. I was enraged, but I took care of business and shot the attacker dead. The police were great, professional, and accommodating. #4 I took it easy at home for the next few days, feeling no remorse about the shooting. It was a righteous homicide, in that I had been defending not only myself but anyone else in the club who might have become the victim of further slashings.
