Book excerpt: "A guy that grabs the throat of a story and hangs on to it." That's how The Arizona Republic described veteran TV reporter Mike Watkiss-"a grizzled TV Icon" who has been at the forefront of some of the World's biggest stories for more than four decades. From OJ Simpson to Michael Jackson--from serial killer Richard Ramirez to polygamous prophet Warren Jeffs-from figure skater Tonya Harding to Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, Watkiss' career reads like a road map of American history. "Story Hustler"-Murder-Mayhem-PTSD are the raw stories behind the the headline-grabbing stories-a pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride through scandal and tragedy-terror and triumph.Watkiss was one of the first reporters at the crime scene the morning the bodies of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were discovered in Brentwood. He was ringside for O.J. Simpson's so-called "Trial of the Century."Watkiss' fiery jail house interview with notorious serial killer Richard Ramirez and his ambush-interview of actress Elizabeth Taylor onboard an airplane are the stuff of TV legend.Watkiss, often described as "fearless," is best known for his decades of covering the practice of polygamy in America and focusing specifically on the large FLDS community on the Utah/Arizona border and it's notorious Prophet Warren Jeffs. Watkiss' 2004 Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning documentary "Colorado City and the Underground Railroad" helped start a revolution against the generations of abuse of women and children in polygamous communities. Through his relentless work, Watkiss played a major role in landing FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs in a Texas prison cell."The entire country and probably the world know this story because of" Watkiss, wrote journalist and friend Claudia Rivero."He let America in on a nasty little secret--many secrets," AZFamily.com wrote of Watkiss at the time of his retirement from TV news.The pages of "Story Hustler"-Murder-Mayhem-PTSD are full of events that shaped history and the names of some of the most famous and infamous characters on the Earth--names like Marlon Brando, Princess Diana, Sylvester Stallone, Nicolas Cage, Tonya Harding, Robert Mueller, O.J. Simpson, Baby-Face Nelson, Joe Conforte, Charlie Manson, Tex Watson, Heidi Fleiss, Harry Reems, Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski, Kirk Cobain, Patrick Duffy, Larry Flint, Vernon Jordan, Jerzy Kosinski, Sharon Stone, Ali McGraw, Robert Evans, Dave Dave, Maury Povich, Connie Chung, Joe Arpaio, Jodi Arias and many more.Azfamily.com wrote that Watkiss "is known not only for his excellent story-telling but also for telling stories that matter, ones that changed lives in very real ways."Watkiss now brings his passion and story-telling ability to the pages of his memoirs, "Story Hustler"-Murder-Mayhem-PTSD.

Download or read book One Crazy Bastard written by P. J. McGraw and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money talks...but what does it tell us? One Crazy Bastard: The True Story of a Kansas City Hustler chronicles the messages one man heard and the shocking ways he responded. Early in life, money called PJ McGraw into action, urging him to do whatever it took to go from rags to riches. He dropped out of school-in seventh grade-and ran away to chase the buck across North America as a carnival worker and hustler. The next time money called, McGraw shifted into the adult entertainment industry, where he became entangled with gangsters, dealers, and corrupt government employees and eventually landed in jail for tax evasion. At this point, some folks would've ended the conversation, but not McGraw. He was willing to go the distance, no matter where it took him. And where exactly did it take him? Step inside this revealing romp to find out-and prepare to laugh, cry, and shake your head in disbelief. One Crazy Bastard is a sensational yet sincere set of autobiographical vignettes that will appeal to anyone who, like the author, has sidestepped convention to get ahead, as well as to readers interested in riveting personal accounts about roads less traveled.

Des, Virginia’s slickest gangsta, is about to become a dad when he is charged with the murder of his own attorney. But with Yarni, his gorgeous wife (and a brilliant lawyer), now calling the shots, Des isn’t going back to the slammer without a fierce fight. Even with the heat on, Des manages to take his game to the next level and finds a new hustle, one that will allow him to possess the three things all major players desire: money, power, and respect.

But when Des’s nephew is killed in the high-stakes heroin trade and Des learns that someone close to him okayed the hit, the dyed-in-the-wool gangsta sets aside the Bible for the gospel of the streets–even if it means risking the one person who’s always had his back.
Book Synopsis Running the Table by : L. Jon Wertheim
Download or read book Running the Table written by L. Jon Wertheim and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2007 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a popular senior writer for Sports Illustrated comes this high-stakes, boys-on-the-road story about the most unlikely of phenoms--a heavyset, bipolar, and endlessly charming pool hustler named Kid Delicious In most sports the pinnacle is Wheaties-box notoriety. But in the world of pool, notoriety is the last thing a hustler desires. Such is the dilemma that faces one Danny Basavich, an affable, generously proportioned Jewish kid from Jersey, who flounders through high school until he discovers the one thing he excels at--the felt--and hits the road. Running the Table spins the outrageous tale of Kid Delicious and his studly--if less talented--set-up man, Bristol Bob. Never was there a more entertaining or mismatched pair of sidekicks, as together they go underground into the flavorfully seamy world of pool to learn the art of the hustle and experience the highs and lows of life on the road. Their four-year odyssey takes them from Podunk pool halls to slick urban billiard rooms across America, as they manage one night to take down as much as $30,000, only to lose so much the next night that they lack gas money to get home. With every stop, the action gets hotter, the calls get closer, and Delicious's prowess with a cue stick becomes known more and more widely. Ultimately, Delicious sheds his cover once and for all and becomes professional pool's biggest sensation since Minnesota Fats. In a book sure to appeal to fans of Bringing Down the House and Positively Fifth Street, Wertheim evokes a subculture full of nefarious but loveable characters and illuminates America's fascination with games and gambling. He also paints a lasting portrait of an insanely talented and magnetic hustler, who is literally larger than life.

Book Synopsis The Hustler's Handbook by : Bill Veeck
Download or read book The Hustler's Handbook written by Bill Veeck and published by Ivan R. Dee Publisher. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the difference between a promoter and a hustler?" Bill Veeck asks. "Well, let's look at it this way. Neither one of them is an advertiser. An advertiser pays for his space. A promoter works out a quid pro quo . A hustler gets a free ride and makes it seem as if he's doing you a favor." Keep this in mind as Veeck, one of baseball's all-time characters and certainly its best-ever hustler, draws on an apparently bottomless well of stories, anecdotes, theories, and attitudes involving the often bizarre world of major league baseball. And, of course, he's never afraid to speak his mind. The Hustler's Handbook is a rich, hilarious, flagrantly outspoken lesson on how to operate as a hustler in the corporate jungle of modern baseball.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the age of 17, David McCumber was stricken with "road fever" that irresistible call to the itinerant life of a professional gambler. Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the "stakehorse" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating "Renaissance Pool Hustler," student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke." With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory...and the perfect hustle.
Download or read book Hustling Hitler written by Walter Shapiro and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed journalist Walter Shapiro, the true life story of how his great-uncle—a Jewish vaudeville impresario and exuberant con man—managed to cheat Hitler’s agents in the run-up to WWII. All his life, journalist Walter Shapiro assumed that the outlandish stories about his great-uncle Freeman were exaggerated family lore; some cockamamie Jewish revenge fantasies dreamt up to entertain the kids and venerate their larger-than-life relative. Only when he started researching Freeman Bernstein’s life did he realize that his family was actually holding back—the man had enough stories, vocations, and IOUs to fill a dozen lifetimes. Freeman was many people: a vaudeville manager, boxing promoter, stock swindler, card shark and self-proclaimed “Jade King of China.” But his greatest title, perhaps the only man who can claim such infamy, was as The Man Who Hustled Hitler. A cross between The Night They Raided Minsky’s and Guys and Dolls, Freeman Bernstein’s life was itself an old New York sideshow extravaganza, one that Shapiro expertly stages in Hustling Hitler. From a ragtag childhood in Troy, New York, Shapiro follows his great-uncle’s ever-crooked trajectory through show business, from his early schemes on the burlesque circuit to marrying his star performer, May Ward, and producing silent films—released only in Philadelphia. Of course, all of Freeman’s cons and schemes were simply a prelude to February 18, 1937, the day he was arrested by the LAPD outside of Mae West’s apartment in Hollywood. The charge? Grand larceny—for cheating Adolf Hitler and the Nazi government. In the capstone of his slippery career, Freeman had promised to ship thirty-five tons of embargoed Canadian nickel to the Führer; when the cargo arrived, the Germans found only huge, useless quantities of scrap metal and tin. It was a blow to their economy and war preparations—and Hitler did not take the bait-and-switch lightly. Told with cinematic verve and hilarious perspective, Hustling Hitler is Shapiro’s incredible investigation into the man behind the myth. By reconstructing his great-uncle’s remarkable career, Shapiro has transformed Freeman Bernstein from a barely there footnote in history to the larger-than-life, eternal hustler who forever changed it.

Faison, along with two partners, was an urban prince with cars, jewels, and people -- in awe of this million-dollar phenomenon -- at his feet.

In Game Over, Azie brings forth a powerful memoir of New York's perilous drug underworld and music industry, with an intellect and wisdom to empower and challenge the street culture he knows so very well.
