Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. When it came to violent crime the Las Vegas police and casino owners thought they had seen it all. But they had never witnessed anything like Jose Vigoa. Born in Cuba, a child of Fidel Castro's revolution, Vigoa used his quick wits and quicker fists to trade a life of poverty and desperation for one of danger and adventure as a Soviet-trained special forces officer. Battle-hardened in the killing fields of Afghanistan and Angola, Vigoa won a reputation for toughness, bravery, and ooolness under fire. A brilliant military career lay ahead of him, Then, in 1980, Castro opened Cuba's floodgates in the Mariel boatlift, and Vigoa, like so many of his countrymen and women, braved chaos and hardship to start a new life in America's promised land. But involvement with the drug trade brought his dreams crashing down. Years of prison followed. On his release, Vigoa was determined to take revenge on what he perceived as the corrupt power structure of Las Vegas. On September 20, 1998, the former Spetsnaz lieutenant launched what would be the most audacious and ruthless series of high-profile casino and armoured car robberies that Las Vegas had ever seen. In a brazen 16-month long reign of terror, he and his tightly disciplined crew would hit the crème de la crème of Vegas hotels: the MGM, the Desert Inn, the New York-New York, the Mandalay Bay, and the Bellagio. They struck hard and fast, then vanished without a trace. Millions of dollars were stolen. Two brave men were gunned down in cold blood; others were wounded. And yet the robberies were so well planned and executed that the police - "the stupids" as Vigoa contemptuously referred to them - were all but helpless. Not Lt. John Alamshaw. The 23yr veteran, in charge of robbery detectives, was not giving up so easily. For him, Vigoa's rampage was a personal affront. And he would do whatever it took, even risk his badge, to bring Vigoa down. Illus., Epilogue + Author's Note. 364pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. Nr. F. in Vg+ dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 17054
