Niotta rose to prominence thanks to his magnetic charm and collaborations with infamous bootlegger Frank Borgia and influential gambling baron Jack Dragna. But the fall is hard for those soaring high. Bled dry by the IRS, Niotta fought to restore his wealth through ringer horses, a multimillion-dollar lottery and a notorious gambling parlor. Through the moves of a pawn dead set on wearing a crown, author J. Michael Niotta explores three decades of L.A. crime, including a rare insider&#8217;s look at the history of the Eagle Brewing Company and other survivors of Prohibition.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 The History Press (October 23, 2017) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 176 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 162585997X <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1625859976 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 13.6 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6 x 0.31 x 9 inches <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Early movers and shakers of Los Angeles didn&#8217;t always operate within the confines of the law, including opportunist and family man Big George Niotta, who supplied sugar to make illegal liquor.
