Mickey Cohen: The Life and Crimes of an L.A Mobster

Equal parts biography and history, Mickey Cohen is a seductive, premium-octane blend of true-crime and Hollywood that spins around a wildly eccentric mob boss. Author Tere Tereba delivers tales of high-life, high-drama, and highly placed politicians, among them RFK and Richard Nixon; revelations about countless icons, including Shirley Temple, Lana Turner, and the Reverend Billy Graham; and provocative women. Meticulously researched, this rich tapestry presents a complete look at the Los Angeles underworld, and exposes powerful mobsters who silently inhabited the scene.
