"Reno Confidential takes us back to the days Reno was a wide-open town where roulette wheels spun all night, divorcees enjoyed the nightlife for six weeks, and gangsters like Pretty Boy Floyd hid out from the law. Moreno weaves fascinating stories about each person's place in Reno lore, packing extensive research and revealing quotes into each chapter. He writes frankly and sometimes with sympathy about all eleven characters, including the ones who went to jail." - David Moore, former editor, Nevada Magazine
