A fast-moving trip, through the worlds of narcotics, street gangs, the Chicago mob, golf, girls, gambling and entrepreneurialism. This is a story that serves up the kind of voyeuristic, guilty pleasure that only the best "truth is stranger than fiction" tales deliver. Burrel is no saint. Never was, never will be. He's a guy who's come through the dark-side with his spirit, heart and hopefulness intact. This is indeed a story of transformation and celebration, but it's also a hell of a tale!

Burrel's extraordinary autobiography: "Tattoos On My Soul: From The Ghetto To The Top Of The World" is distributed nationally by the Independent Publishers Group. Copies are available for purchase on IPG's site. For occasional "Tattoos" extracts, please register for our free newsletter: The Burrel Report, packed full of high–value content and advice, as well as sneak peaks of Burrel's latest book, "Success For Life."
