    Casino Royale

    Yes, you are all probably thinking about Daniel Craig when you read the title. But let us not forget that Ian Flemming’s James Bond, Casino Royale was a book before it was made into a movie.

The book is classified as non-fiction, although it has been alleged that certain events in the book did not in fact happen, and that others were largely overstated. Regardless of whether the details of the events happened or not, it is still a great story!

    The Battle for Las Vegas: The Law vs The Mob
