The Deal
Author: Harry Brooks
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543469965
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
Scottie Roberts is a high-profile criminal defense attorney who represents some of the countrys most well-known mafiosi. One of his clients, Sammy Costello, asks him to help negotiate a deal to buy a mega entertainment conglomerate. Sammy wants him in on the deal because Scotties boyhood friend Joey Torino is a priest who works at the Vatican Bank and he feels he can help finance the deal. Things become complicated when Anthony Longo, another boyhood friend of Scotties, turns up seeking revenge for his fathers murder, claiming that Scottie was involved. The story takes you from the streets of Chicago to the glitter of Hollywood and then behind the scenes in Las Vegas. You will see firsthand how Vatican City, a sovereign state, controls its finances through the Vatican Bank, which has been dogged for decades by scandals involving the illegal transfer of funds and money laundering. You will meet people like Soraya Dubi, a millionaire California real estate person who becomes Scotties partner; Alice, Scotties secretary who, unbeknownst to him, leads two separate lives; and Maurice Gross, the owner of Entertainment World. Negotiating is part of everyday life, but in business, its absolutely critical to success. Scottie is not only a top defense attorney, he is also an expert in negotiating a deal. Emotion, luck, and magic have no place in a successful negotiation. It takes an iron gut, street smarts, and unblinking discipline to make a good deal; and Scottie has them all.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Some people float through life with never a care, a worry, or a problem, and others break their back to get through it. Author William L. Otto was one of those men. In The Last of the Dinosaurs, he shares his story as well of the story of a family, an age, and a city. A businessman, veteran, father, son, player, operator, and friend, Otto grew up on the depression-era streets of the Bronx. His story begins with the hard scrabble life of a poor family doing what was necessary to survive, even as Ottos father took the meager amount they made to spend on drinking and gambling. Like many boys of that time, Otto did what he could to earn money for his family, regardless of the risks. Through hard work and hustle, Otto found himself in the office cleaning business, an industry populated with union bosses, power brokers, and the kind of mob-connected characters infamous around New York City. The Last of the Dinosaurs chronicles Ottos dealings with these colorful, but very real, figures in business and social circles His tales include friendships with Olympic champions, office brawls with union leaders, life-saving interventions from mob bosses, and showdowns with the citys most powerful figures. Despite Ottos resilience and hard work, he was eventually confronted with financial ruin, betrayal, and heartbreak from those he loved and trusted the most. He persevered and found happiness and peace with what remained, and to this day he remains indefatigable.
