MOLLY'S GAME FILM TIE-IN - BLOOM MOLLY - Harper UK

La giovane Molly arriva a Los Angeles quasi per caso, dopo che un problema alla schiena la costringe ad abbandonare la sua passione per lo sci. Non ha soldi né conoscenze, eppure ha già ben chiaro di voler conquistare il mondo. Il mondo che vuole conquistare però è quello lussuoso e inaccessibile delle star di Hollywood e lì riuscire a diventare qualcuno è praticamente impossibile, a meno che non si abbia fortuna, grinta e un talento vero nel gestire i capricci dei ricchi. "'Faremo una partita di poker al Viper martedì sera. Tu ci aiuterai a organizzarla. Segnati questi nomi e invitali.' Sgranai gli occhi. Fissai il mio bloc-notes giallo. Avevo appena annotato i nomi e i numeri di telefono di alcuni degli uomini più famosi, più potenti e più ricchi del pianeta." Così Molly si ritrova a gestire il giro di bische clandestine più esclusivo al mondo, e sembra che nulla possa fermarla. Tra i suoi clienti: divi del cinema, magnati, mafiosi, politici e finanzieri tanto potenti da poter influenzare i mercati e il corso della storia. Molly racconta senza censure questo universo parallelo fatto di fascino, soldi e segretezza, fino a quando non incontra l'avversario più pericoloso: il governo degli Stati Uniti.

Molly Bloom reveals how she built one of the most exclusive, high-stakes underground poker games in the world—an insider’s story of excess and danger, glamour and greed.

In the late 2000s, Molly Bloom, a twentysomething petite brunette from Loveland Colorado, ran the highest stakes, most exclusive poker game Hollywood had ever seen—she was its mistress, its lion tamer, its agent, and its oxygen. Everyone wanted in, few were invited to play.

Hundreds of millions of dollars were won and lost at her table. Molly’s game became the game for those in the know—celebrities, business moguls, and millionaires. Molly staged her games in palatial suites with beautiful views and exquisite amenities. She flew privately, dined at exclusive restaurants, hobnobbed with the heads of Hollywood studios, was courted by handsome leading men, and was privy to the world’s most delicious gossip, until it all came crashing down around her.

Molly’s Game is a behind the scenes look at Molly’s game, the life she created, the life she lost, and what she learned in the process.
