Titanic Thompson by Kevin Cook, ISBN 9780330529952

> Biography Books > General Books

Author: Kevin Cook

The true story of the card-sharking, gun-slinging, golf-hustling American legend who inspired the character of Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls.

Titanic Thompson is the rollicking true story of one of the most charismatic characters in twentieth-century America. Travelling only with his golf clubs, a .45 revolver, and a suitcase full of cash, this is the legendary tale of a man who was married five times to five different girls, all teenagers on their wedding day; of a man who murdered five men, though he'd say they'd all agree they had it coming to them; and of a man who won and lost millions in a time when being a millionaire still really meant something.

Filled with fascinating facts and famous faces Harry Houdini, Al Capone, Arnold Rothstein and Jean Harlow all make appearances this is a brilliant and compelling snapshot of life on the road in freewheelin America.
