Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Tony Valentine has a gift for grift: He can walk into a casino and spot a cheater across a crowded floor. A man who still uses pay phones and wont spend more than a buck for coffee, Tony has protected Atlantic City gambling palaces for twenty years and learned every trick of the tradeuntil a new one blows him away.

With his old partner murdered in a bomb blast, Tony returns to A.C. to retrace Doyle Flanagans last case. Investigating a six-million-dollar casino takedown, a square cop soon meets a whole lot of bent people, from a beautiful lady wrestler to some Manhattan mobsters; from a trio of beautiful casino “consultants” to a team of Eurotrash blackjack card counters. But while everyone around Tony Valentine (including Tonys own son) is playing some kind of angle, Tony is determined to find a killer who is playing for keeps. . . .

Synopsis:

Tony Valentine's former partner Doyle Flanagan is killed by a car bomb. Shortly before his death, Doyle told Valentine about a blackjack scam at Atlantic City's legendary Bombay casino. Valentine determines that the only way to bring his friend's killers to justice is to crack the Bombay heist himself.
