"Casino Wayports: Fear and Loathing in Hot Springs" - the story of the first American capital of vice, woven into the fates of the main characters, who found themselves in the epicenter of the events of the golden decades, from the 1930s to the 1960s. Hot Springs, on the one hand, was the land of healing waters, Art Deco architecture and America's first national park, but on the other hand - the place of horse racing and almost a dozen illegal casinos and brothels. Gangsters, gamblers and crooks: they flocked here to make their fortunes and hide from the harsh hand of the law. David Hill reveals all the cards of the city - from the dark past of racial segregation to organized crime; from the dizzying rise of the gambling industry to their control over ballot stuffing in elections. A novel of prose filled with the sounds and images of American entertainment - jazz bands and slot machines, skillful auctioneers and dressed-up comedians - this is a fascinating look at a bygone era of American vice.
