Inside, you'll read about the most famous murders, mob connections, conspiracies, fraud scams, prostitution rings, and more.Several of the stories go into greater depth, such as: Tribal Casino Origins, The Octopus, and Indian Head Nichols; Cliff Lambert and The Boiz; and Palm Springs Madam, with facts never before revealed by the media. If you're like me, you will become downright frightened at the dark level of crime and corruption living inside the shadows, ready to claw us, or those we love, out of the sunshine.
