From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, the Chicago Outfit dominated organized crime in Las Vegas. To ensure the smooth flow of cash, the gangsters installed a front man with no criminal background, Allen R. Glick, as the casino owner of record, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal as the real boss of casino operations, and Tony Spilotro as the ultimate enforcer, who’d do whatever it took to protect their interests. It wasn’t long before Spilotro, also in charge of Vegas street crime, was known as the “King of the Strip.” Federal and local law enforcement, recognizing the need to rid the casinos of the mob and shut down Spilotro’s rackets, declared war on organized crime. The Battle for Las Vegas relates the story of the fight between the tough guys on both sides, told in large part by the agents and detectives who knew they had to win.

What happens in Vegas… well, you know. Sin. Decadence. Bright lights and neon soaked nights. No one would notice a couple of spells going off. A few more dead bodies showing up in the morgue. Hell, no one would even notice them if they came from the city’s homeless population. But when a witch summons a demon to feast on societies unwanted, it starts a war with the undead. And the Marshal of Magic lands right in the middle of it. He’s supposed to find the witch and stop her. After all, she’s there because of his mistake. First, he’s got to head off the escalating tension between the vampires that rule the desert night and magic users. He can’t trust the woman picked to guide him. And his trusty sidekick is fading fast unless he can save him. The tin star can only take him so far in Viva Witch Vegas. Fans of Dresden and the Iron Druid are going to love the Marshal of Magic because smart ass wizards get in a lot of trouble.

Vu Tran has written a thrilling and cinematic work of sophisticated suspense and haunting lyricism set in motion by characters who can neither trust each other nor themselves. Dragonfish is a remarkable debut, a noir page-turner. Robert's ex-wife has disappeared and her new husband is blackmailing Robert into finding her for him. His search leads him to learn more about his ex-wife than he ever did in their marriage. As Robert starts illuminating the dark corners of her life, the legacy of her sins threatens to immolate them all.

A dazzling new collection by this well-known poet/traveler from the American Southwest.
