From the publisher: "As a child, Wendy relished the small frontier town of Las Vegas… But as a teenager in the 1970s, Wendy's troubled home life and rebellious spirit led her to the legendary Horseshoe Club on Fremont Street, where she hooked up with Ted Binion, youngest son of notorious gambling figure Benny Binion. Her affair with the casino scion soon devolved into dalliances with high-rolling gamblers and suitcase deliveries of cash to Midwest mobsters. Binion then passed off Wendy like a trophy to Tom Hanley, a man thirty-nine years older, who nonetheless drew her affections and ultimately married her… Tom was a mob hitman. Wendy became a terrified and silent witness to his numerous crimes. Authorities say Hanley may have been responsible for more than twenty murders over three decades… VEGAS RAG DOLL paints a vivid portrait of the final years of organized crime in Las Vegas... In a fascinating era when legitimate facades disguised dark secrets, Wendy Hanleyhad a front-row seat - and a knack for survival.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Wendy Mazaros. 1st ed?
