Story
Frances Stroh's earliest memories are ones of great privilege: shopping trips to London and New York, lunches served by black-tied waiters at the Regency Hotel, and a house filled with precious antiques, which she was forbidden to touch. Established in Detroit in 1850, by 1984 the Stroh Brewing Company had become the largest private beer fortune in America and a brand emblematic of the American dream itself; while Stroh was coming of age, the Stroh family fortune was estimated to be worth $700 million.

Great review of a true family
Reviewed: 08-31-16
Amazingly honest portrayal of the B family through the tough times. Not a super up lifting story or one of redemption but an honest look at the decline of an American family's fortune

Story
Guerrieri is asked to handle the appeal of Fabio Paolicelli, sentenced to 16 years for smuggling drugs. Paolicelli intially confessed to the crime, and everything seems stacked against the appeal. Guerrieri's reluctance to take on the case is intensified by the fact that he knows Paolicelli, and it is only the intervention of Paolicelli's beautiful wife, Natsu, that finally overcomes Guerrieri's reluctance.

Great intimate thriller that brings all the details together. Brings you to the Italian city of Bari& appreciates the local color, culture, cuisine of the tough coastal city.

Great primer for consulting gig
Reviewed: 04-10-16
Sounds good but felt like this book is all about these guys selling their services consulting. Plus side is there a few good 'stories' so it has good experience.
