The Last Good Time Zusammenfassung

The Last Good Time: Skinny d'Amato and the 500 Club Jonathan van Meter

Paul 'Skinny' D'Amato was perhaps the most important man in the history of Atlantic City, where his world-famous 500 Club served as the ultimate backroom for the players of entertainment, politics, sports and the Mob. Skinny was not part of the Rat Pack, but he was its mentor. It was Skinny who taught Frank Sinatra the coolest way to hold a cigarette, tip big and play with the big boys. Skinny was the ultimate connected guy, a passionate gambler who had a special touch that brought people together, but with wealth and power there was also tragedy - fires, mental illness, bankruptcy, death and murder. The Last Good Time is a classic story of the whisky-soaked dark side of America and a portrait of a self-made man.

The Last Good Time Bewertungen

'Fascinating... van Meter's atmospheric evocation of a lost world of glamour and corruption has the kick of a perfect Martini, straight up, with a twist' Sunday Telegraph 'Beautifully paced and compulsively readable, this book will keep you thoroughly entertained from cover to cover' Scotland on Sunday 'A riveting read, a tale of gambling and glamour, corruption and carnal sins, mental illness and Mob-handed malfeasance ... fascinating' Scotsman 'A great read! ... For guys and dolls of every stripe it was probably the last good time, and van Meter captures it perfectly' Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino
