Author Information

Jeff German has been an award-winning writer for the Las Vegas Sun for more than two decades. As a columnist and the newspaper's senior investigative reporter, he has chronicled the activities of the mob and covered Las Vegas from its streets to casino boardrooms. His early reports on Ted Binion's death led police to conclude that the casino boss was the victim of a homicide. German later obtained hundreds of pages of confidential law enforcement documents and broke a steady stream of stories that took his readers into the heart of the police investigation. He is regarded as one of the nation's foremost experts on this sensational case. Check out the original Lifetime movie, Sex and Lies in Sin City, based on the book Murder in Sin City by Jeff German, premiering on October 25, 2008 at 8 p.m. EST.
