Henry Hill at Book Signing

Join us this Saturday, June 20 at   Fire it Up Gourmet Pizza at 2263 N. Green Valley Parkway, Suite #1, Henderson, NV, for Gangsters & GoodFellas Night starting at 5 pm.

Henry Hill will be there to talk about his days as part of New York City’s Luchessi crime family. I’ll be on hand to discuss my area of expertize, the Tony Spilotro era in Vegas. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see some other players from “the day” drop by. Mob books, CDs and other items, will be available for sale and inscription.

So you’ll be able to meet some interesting people, take a few pictures, and taste some of the best pizza available in Sin City.

I hope you can stop in and say hello.

Denny
