of the city. The view was breathtaking as she stood looking down on

"Look at this-The City of Gold!"
Evelyn exclaimed as Tony kissed her forehead.
Evelyn exclaimed as Tony kissed her forehead.
"And it's all ours, Eve!"
Thus begins a heartwarming and harrowing
tale of life and forbidden love lost to one generation and found in
the next. Caught between a turbulent love triangle that shook the
very foundations of the Mafia's Las Vegas Empire, and a deadly
struggle for wealth and power, Mob Boss and "King of Las Vegas"
Tony Torino, his mistress hustler and onetime showgirl Evelyn
Rosenberg, and her husband top Chicago mobster Charlie "Gus"
Rosenberg live and love in defiance of the violent and unforgiving
laws of the Mafia. All that remains is Evelyn's carefully preserved
diary left by Gus to be discovered by his daughter Adriane and Tony's
son Victor as they pack up her late father's belongings. Through the
vivid and brilliant use of flashbacks, juxtaposed with current
events, we witness one of the most beautiful and ill-fated love
stories of the last century. As Victor, a forest ranger who fled his
family's Mob past, and Adriane, an attorney being pressured to work
for the Mafia, read through the diary old hatreds and new alliances
rise leaving us to wonder if history will repeat itself.
