Description A Gun in My Gucci is a true story of two outsiders who helped bring down the Chicago Mob - the middle-aged mobster Ken Tokyo Joe Eto, and a determined young woman, Elaine Corbitt Smith.
In the early 1980s, Joe Eto was the highest-ranking Asian-American mobster in the country.
His nemesis, rookie Elaine Smith was one of only a few female Special Agents in the FBI at that time.
Her relentless pursuit of Eto resulted in his detention by the Bureau on interstate gambling charges.
Afraid that he would spill his guts, Eto's Mob bosses decided not to gamble on Joe's ability to remain silent.
He had to be eliminated and a hit was ordered.
Joe Eto never talked, nevertheless the Mob still tried to kill him.
But the hit was botched and Tokyo Joe walked away with three bullets in his head.
Alive, with his honor intact, he sought revenge.

A Gun in My Gucci reveals the special relationship between Joe Eto and his FBI handler Elaine Smith, who went from school teacher to crime-buster.
Smith's story exposes her tough climb up the ladder of acceptance and ultimate success as she broke into the macho, male-dominated criminal justice system, and helped take down the Chicago Outfit.
