Casino by Nicholas Pileggi
For years, Lefty provided the smarts, while Tony kept the bosses happy with weekly suitcases filled with millions in skimmed cash. Lefty's obsessions with running the town and Tony's obsession with Lefty's beautiful showgirl wife, Geri eventually led to betrayals and investigations that exploded into one of the greatest scandals in mob history.
