| Editorial Reviews: Product Description It's 1961 and Las Vegas is still the place to be. Eddie Gianelli, pit boss at the Sands Casino, now considers the Rat Pack his friends. And this time, his friend Frank Sinatra wants him to help Sammy. Someone has an embarrassing photo of Sammy and wants $25 grand for it. All Eddie has to do is make the pay-off and collect the photo. Easy, right? But at the rendezvous, in place of a blackmailer, Eddie finds a dead body greeting him instead. Pretty soon Eddie and New York torpedo Jerry Epstein are up to their elbows in bodies. There's a double-cross going on. Could the presence of the Secret Service mean that JFK is somehow involved? In this next installment, the Rat Pack is back in full swing. Celebrity cameos with Buddy Hackett and Marilyn Monroe add to the glamor. It's certain the stars are out, and it's up to Eddie to see that they don't fall from the sky. | |||||||||||
| Customer Reviews: Another winner in the Rat Pack series .... December 27, 2008 747667 I don't usually read mystery novels. But, I make an exception for the Rat Pack series. If you are a fan of Frank, Sammy, Dean, Peter & Joey ... these books are really fun to read. I also like the tough, but congenial Jerry as a sidekick. The Eddie G character works well enough to hold everything together and has grown a bit from the prevous two books. I hope Randisi keeps writing these as it helps to keep the memory of these great personalities alive. Perfect winter read. zany Rat Pack historical thriller December 14, 2008Harriet Klausner 1 out of 2 found this review helpful In 1961 Vegas, Sammy Davis Jr. knows that Sands Casino pit boss Eddie Gianelli has come to the aid of his Rat Pack pals (see Dean Martin's tale EVERYBODY KILLS SOMEBODY SOMETIME and Frank Sinatra in LUCK BE A LADY, DON'T DIE). Since he needs help and knows he can trust Eddie, he hires him to make an exchange with a blackmailer. Someone broke into Sammy's home, stealing an embarrassing career ending photo and now wants 25 grand for its return. Eddie and his friend Jerry Epstein show up at the exchange point only to find a corpse with no photo. The pit boss and his buddy find themselves in a cat and mouse game across Nevada with blackmailers, cops, FBI and high ranking DC politicians though neither the two friends on the lam can understand why Hoover or the White House seem to be in on the chase. Once again as with the previous two Rat Pack historical thrillers, Robert J. Randisi paying homage by making his real players come to life especially the entertainers whom the author clearly thinks highly of. The story line is zany and a bit over the top, but no one will care as the Rat Pack steals the show in spite of Eddie and Jerry's excellent adventure. Harriet Klausner | |||||||||||
