.Jimmy Quinn has been many things, thief, bagman, bootlegger, and the man who greased palms from City Hall to the precinct house. "It's been a good life," he likes to say, though his ruined knee and a lifetime of enemies tell a different story.A one-time runner for Arnold Rothstein and a "known associate" of Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky, Jimmy now runs one of Manhattan's finest speakeasies.
