The Mob at the Spa: Organized Crime and its Fascination with Hot Springs, Arkansas
by Orval E. Allbritton. 2011 softcover. 270 pages, very nice condition. SIGNED.

Long before Las Vegas became the underworld’s casino playground, Hot Springs, Arkansas, was home away from home for the most notorious names in U.S. organized crime. Al Capone, Albert Anastasia, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, Carlos Marcello, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky — these and many more vacationed in the Spa City, where illegal but open prostitution and gambling attracted Mob royalty for decades until the casinos were shut down in the late 1960s. This 270-page soft cover book tells about mobsters who came to Hot Springs from approximately 1920 to 1965. Allbritton separates fact from fiction, presenting what can be documented about the mobsters’ connections to the Spa City. In the process, he relates fascinating and little-known stories of their visits to Hot Springs and their connections with its citizens.
