Description
If you had lost everything, and you had one chance to get it all back, would you take that chance?
Haunted by the demons from his past, Adnan Ališić escapes Bosnia and comes to Phoenix, Arizona, where he starts a new life.
Fueled by ambition and drive, he starts a successful car dealership, settles down, and lives the American Dream.
Tortured by his past, he seeks relief in gambling and loses everything. After being tossed out of the casino, Adnan vows to get back at them.
Forced by the gambling debt and driven by the revenge against the casino, he plans an elaborate casino heist. After discovering the tunnel running under the casino, he devises an intricate scheme to get his money back and pay off the debt.
From ethnic cleansing and mass killings in Bosnia, to gambling and underground tunnels in Arizona, you will read Arizona Dream untill the last page where you'll find the real reason and motivation behind the heist.
"In likable, plain-spoken, and insightful prose, full of lush and vivid detail, Adnan Ališić reflects on the suspenseful twists and turns of his one-of-a-kind life path. From the first page to the last, I was completely riveted. This is one hell of a book."
- Davy Rothbart, author of My Heart is an Idiot, and creator of FOUND Magazine
Haunted by the atrocities of war, a Bosnian refugee pursuing the elusive American dream finds himself committing the heist of the century. ... An engaging, mile-a-minute crime memoir."
