Description

Travelling only with his golf clubs, a .45 revolver, and a suitcase full of cash, this is the legendary tale of a man who married 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 this is a brilliant and compelling snapshot of life on the road in freewheelin’ America.

Professional reviews

"From the William Hill Sports Book of the Year shortlisted author Praise for author: 'Kevin Cook tells the story with great tenderness and no little humour. He has done a lot of meticulous research and never puts a foot wrong.’ DAILY TELEGRAPH ‘Unquestionably a book rather than a product, written for love and not lolly.' The Guardian"
