The Colossus Conspiracy

Ron Delpit is a veteran entertainment writer who has rubbed elbows with everyone from Frank Sinatra, Elvis and Howard Hughes to real-life Mafia hit men during his twenty-five years in Las Vegas. The Colossus Conspiracy is his second book. His first, By Blood Betrayed, was a paperback best seller.

A former syndicated entertainment columnist as well as a critic for The Hollywood Reporter and editor for Gannett newspapers in New York, Delpit incorporates his wealth of knowledge about Las Vegas, its entertainers, its hotels and their ruthless Strip Wars into this fictionalized murder mystery that gives readers a rare glimpse behind the glitz, glamour and gaming that is Las Vegas.

Delpit is also an ex-sports writer and college athlete. An injury cut short a promising baseball career but gave birth to his entry into the business side of sports as a player agent in the early 1970’s.

The late Sammy Davis probably summed it up best when he said, ＂Ron Delpit is that rare breed of cat who not only knows where the bodies are buried; he knows who buried them. He is as Vegas as neon and green felt.＂

Ron Delpit is also a past president of Nevada Special Olympics and currently resides in Las Vegas.
