Brad Lewis and Mickey Cohen

It was great fun to meet the incredible staff at Seattle Mystery Bookshop, one of the premiere and devoted locations for serious readers. I truly enjoyed explaining the story of Mickey Cohen, the Jewish mob leader from the 1930s-1970s, a man who achieved unlikely celebrity while heading up illegal gambling in Los Angeles. His friends ran the peculiar gamut from Billy Graham to Richard Nixon and Marilyn Monroe to Patty Hearst. What was unique and inspirational about this talk was the startling knowledge of history revealed in the questions of attendees. Bill and JB are American treasures!
