Casino Chiseler by Leopold Borstinski
Would you gamble everything you possess to win more than you can imagine?
Jewish gangster, Alex Cohen leaves jail to find salvation from the 1940s mob in the hotels of Las Vegas. When Bugsy Siegel invites him to take over sports betting in Nevada, Alex must figure out how to get back to the top table in New York without attracting the Feds' attention. If he succeeds then he will regain his self respect, but if he fails then the last members of the national crime syndicate will cut him dead and he will be left a nobody or wind up a corpse.
And after he bumps into his childhood sweetheart, he has a once in a lifetime opportunity to win her heart. But Alex knows the criminal underworld has the habit of spilling over into his personal life and when Meyer Lansky asks him to murder Siegel, Alex must choose what is truly important to him.
The fourth book in the Alex Cohen series is an historical thriller novel, which rips open the Jewish mob's involvement in the birth of modern Vegas. Leopold Borstinski's shattering crime fiction deals a royal flush to each reader.

Review
This is the fourth book in the fantastic Alex Cohen series and it gets better and better. This sees Alex just recently released from prison and trying to organise his life after being left high and dry by the syndicate. He ends up in Las Vegas - the city of opportunity!
Once again this was a great read from Leopold. It was amazing to see how Las Vegas was formed from dodgy deals and criminal activity. I had always thought it was Native lands and it was that group who developed it! You learn something new every day.
Alex also bumps into his high school sweetheart and now has the opportunity to win her heart all over again. What I did like was to see the effects of being in prison on Alex’s character. I especially liked the remorse of losing his family and especially that of his eldest son no longer acknowledging him. The character development was certainly well done on this issue.
This is a great continuation of the series and one I suggest you read! It’s fun, compelling with amazing characters, oozes the feel of when America was rife with gangsters and lives up to bill of a right good rollicking read!
