Harper Collins' new release is the most talked about book ever written about Las Vegas, Skin City goes behind the mystique that draws 35 million visitors to town.

Embedded Balls (co-authored with Peter Jacobsen)
Every hit movie or book deserves a sequel, and so Sheehan and Jacobsen provided one to their bestseller Buried Lies as they go inside the world of the PGA Tour in 2005. The game is bigger than ever, it has one of the most magnetic stars in his sport, and a sport that was once considered nerdy is now totally cool. This book explains why, with a lot of chuckles along the way. |

The Class of '47: The Best of the Best Generation
The United States Naval Academy Class of 1947 combined perhaps the most distinguished and accomplished group in American military school history. With a former U.S. President, a Nobel Prize Winner, two Medal of Honor winners, several Rhodes Scholars, a former Director of the CIA, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the billionaire chairman of the legendary Masters tournament all in the same class, there must have been something in the drinking water. In this two-year research project, Sheehan reveals the amazing stories behind this esteemed and heroic group that he calls, "the most patriotic and inspiring group of men I've ever met." |

The Golden Boys (co-authored with Tom Breitling)
This story became the reality television series The Casino, but that show only skimmed the surface of the compelling tale of two college friends who made hundred-million-dollar profits twice, in entirely different industries. And these thirty-something whiz kids are trying to do it a third time. Wait till you read what they're up to now. |
