Why do I give a damn about these people who have absolutely nothing to do with me? My sis lives in Vegas, and years ago when I was visiting, we were standing downtown when she pointed out that it was no longer "Binion's Horseshoe". She said it was due to the shady death of a family member.
Well, this story has it all, sex, boobjobs, topless dancers, heroin, drive by shootings, and the most screwy attempted murder cover up ever. These people were the kind that typically do not make good criminals, genetically smiled upon individuals, whose brains should stay in their crotch.
I have read "Quicksilver, and two other books on the subject, and this is the best. Following the viewpoint of the head investigator, (who is a composite of law enforcement), watching the show as it unfolds,this book is easier to follow than the others yet does not sacrifice chronolology.

Product Overview
On September 17, 1998, police found Las Vegas gambling magnate Ted Binion lying dead on the floor of his palatial home, an empty bos of Xanax beside him. The police had been called by Binion's live-in lover, Sandra Murphy, 23, a California girl who had been working in a Vegas strip club when Binion had first met her. At first it seemed it was a fatal drug overdose that killed the handsome multi-millionaire. But was it?
A few days later, Binion's "friend" Rick Tabish was arrested for trying to break into a vault where the eccentric millionaire had stored seven million dollars' worth of silver bars and coins. Family members hired ex-homicide detective-turned-private investigator Tom Dillar to start digging into the case. Dillard turned over the evidence he collected to Las Vegas police. What they found led to Binion's death being ruled a homicide and Murphy and Tabish's arrest for murder.
The state said they were greedy lovers who'd conspired to kill Binion before they could strike Murphy out of his will, while the defense claimed that his vengeful family was trying to railroad Murphy to keep her from inheriting her fair share of the estate. The two sides collided in court, amid lurid charges and countercharges of physical abuse, drug use and illicit passion, in what became the Southwest's Murder Trial of the Century!
