Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime by Robert J. Randisi Pdf
Las Vegas, 1960. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford are the Kings of Cool---the Rat Pack. Ocean's 11 is their first movie together and they have taken Sin City by storm---filming during the day and cavorting onstage at the Sands Casino at night. It's clear not everyone is charmed, however, when Dean begins receiving anonymous threatening letters. Eddie Gianelli, also called Eddie G., is a pit boss at the Sands. After twelve years, he's got the whole town wired. But he's still surprised when Joey Bishop drops by his table and invites him to meet with Frank in the Rat Pack's private steam room. Frank asks Eddie to find out who's been sending the threats, as a favor to him and Dean. Eddie wants to politely decline, but caught between his boss, Jack Entratter's, not-so-subtle nudging and being utterly starstruck by Dino, he agrees to look into it. He gets help from his P.I. best friend and a Jewish torpedo from Brooklyn. A few dead bodies and bruised ribs later, he remembers why he was reluctant. In a city of gamblers, Eddie has become the highest roller of all. The game is murder, and the stakes just may be his own life. Robert J. Randisi, the man Booklist claims "may be the last of the true pulp writers," takes his readers on a vivid, neon-lit tour of back rooms, bars, and famed gambling dens of the desert mirage that was---and still is---Las Vegas. Broads, blackjack, and bourbon flow. Celebrities, from John F. Kennedy to Angie Dickinson, strut in and out of this amazing first in a series that Rat Pack fans and crime fiction lovers will not want to miss.

Hey There (You with the Gun in Your Hand) by Robert J. Randisi Pdf
"I am loving these! FAST, FUN, and FURI0US! What a great read! What wonderful entertainment!"—SANDY HACKETT 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 twenty-five grand for it. All Eddie has to do is make the payoff and collect the photo. Easy, right? But at the rendezvous, in place of a blackmailer, Eddie finds a dead body greeting him. Pretty soon Eddie and New York tough guy 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? Celebrity cameos by Buddy Hackett and Marilyn Monroe add to the glamour. The stars are out, and it's up to Eddie to see that they don't fall from the sky. “Randisi shows both respect and affection for his historical characters as he highlights the antics of the RAT PACK, who made the burgeoning gambling and entertainment empires of Nevada their playground.” —Publishers Weekly on Hey There (You with the Gun in Your Hand) PRAISE FOR RAT PACK MYSTERY NOVELS "Randisi perfectly captures the GLITZ, GLAMOUR, CORRUPTION, AND CRIME of the era, using the Rat Pack gang with affectionate respect and considerable acumen."―Publishers Weekly on Luck Be a Lady, Don't Die “As entertaining as the series debut. Frank, Dean, Sammy, and Joey Bishop are all portrayed as the COOLEST OF THE COOL CATS (well, maybe not Joey), and the stakes are elevated….GREAT FUN for the snap-brimmed-hat crowd.”―Booklist on Luck Be a Lady, Don’t Die "Longtime mystery veteran Randisi does a BANG-UP JOB CAPTURING SINATRA, MARTIN, DAVIS JR., AND THEIR FELLOW KINGS OF COOL in all their Vegas glory....With a likable but savvy protagonist, a deep understanding of Vegas culture and sixties style, and an obvious love of the Rat Pack, Randisi delivers a stylish, memorable winner."―The Baltimore Sun on Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime “A RAT-A-TAT WHODUNIT [that] harks back to drugstore pulp fiction…Randisi conjures up a sharkskin-suited man's world, awash in booze [and] broads…a quick romp…with a flashy façade.”―The Washington Post on Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime

Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney Pdf
My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?

You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Kills You by Robert J. Randisi Pdf
Rat Pack 4 Robert J. Randisi delivers the best entry yet in this evocative, fast-paced series. This time, it's not really a Rat Pack member who needs help from Eddie G., pit boss at the Sands Casino and friend of the Rat Pack, but an extended member—Marilyn Monroe. Still smarting from being blamed for Clark Gable's death after the filming of The Misfits, Marilyn thinks she's being followed. Eddie's on the job, but must take a break when he receives word that his mother has died. He flies back home to Brooklyn for the first time in fourteen years, with his buddy P.l. Danny Bardini looking after Marilyn while he's gone. When Eddie hears that Danny has gone missing, he returns to Vegas with Jerry, the Brooklyn tough guy, and the two investigate Marilyn's concerns more seriously. With stops at both Marilyn's home and Frank Sinatra's house in Palm Springs, where Frank is preparing to receive President JFK, this is another thrilling, fun-filled ride through the glittering world of the Rat Pack.

Luck Be a Lady, Don't Die by Robert J. Randisi Pdf
Vegas, 1960. Gamblin’, drinkin’, and everybody’s misbehavin’. Six months ago, while they were filming Ocean’s 11, the Rat Pack needed Eddie Gianelli’s help to track down the mug who was sending threatening letters to Dino. Now they’re back for the premiere and it’s Frank who needs Eddie’s help. Seems a babe he was planning to meet in Sin City took a powder---leaving behind her luggage and a stiff in the bathtub. She’s on the lam, and it’s up to Eddie to find her and figure out if she’s a victim or a killer. Once again Eddie teams up with his P.I. buddy, Danny Bardini, and the Jewish New York torpedo, Jerry Epstein, who never met a pancake he didn’t like. Together they scour the neon streets, smoke-filled lounges, casinos, and seamy back alleys, dodging bodies and thugs with guns. But when Sam Giancana arrives on the scene, Eddie starts to wonder if he’s going to be able to keep himself out of jail---and alive. Celebrity cameos spice up the action, and Mo Mo Giancana brings a dark presence to the story. Once again, Randisi, the man Booklist says “may be the last of the pulp writers,” gives readers a tour de force of bright lights, hot dice, and drop-dead-gorgeous dames in this second novel in the exciting, acclaimed series.
