Publisher's Summary

Eddie Trascher was a gentleman gangster, but he never wanted to be part of the mob. For 50 years, from the pre-Castro Havana casinos to Los Angeles, Trascher stole from mob-owned casinos, scammed gangsters, and was one of the top bookies in the country. He capped his career as a confidential informant for Florida law enforcement and was the source for getting inside the Trafficante Mafia family.

Balls is written by Scott Dietche and Ken Sanz. Sanz is a former Florida Department of Law enforcement special agent, and was Eddie's handler and friend for over 20 years.

Balls, undercover genius

Balls is wonderfully narrated and deliciously tantalizing as it takes the listener through the world of mafia run casinos and one man’s passion for sticking it to the mob. Go under the covers with this sumptuous tale of scintillating dare as Eddie “Balls” Trascher shows the mafia that their offers can be refused!
