Synopsis
Jim Snow and his sister Karen have never been very close. In fact, they haven’t seen each other since their mother’s funeral two years ago, despite living just three miles apart. But then Snow gets a panicked phone call from Karen telling him that her estranged husband has been murdered and she is the number-one suspect. Snow agrees to help, seeing as he’s the only family she has left. Plus he is a Las Vegas homicide detective—or at least, he was until he quit the force to become a full-time poker player. But while his crime-fighting skills may be a little rusty, even he has to admit Karen is a likely suspect. She stands to collect on her dead husband’s life insurance, which is quite the coincidence considering she’s been living on her first two husbands’ insurance for years. Snow isn’t sure whether or not his sister is innocent, and there’s only one way to find out. He joins forces with feisty cocktail waitress-turned-cop Alice James and together they set out amidst the glittering lights of Vegas to solve this witty and entertaining whodunit.

About the Author
Rex Kusler was born in Missouri and raised in a small town in Iowa. Thanks to a lifelong fascination with mathematical probability and gambling, he enjoys spending his free time in Las Vegas and looks forward to retiring there. For now, he lives and works in the bay area of northern California, seeking humor and fun in whatever he does.
Review
"Writing with a unique combination of compassion and grit, Rex Kusler brings humor and humanity to a world of dashed dreams and desperate aspirations. With the confidence of a master storyteller, Kusler spins a compelling whodunit, with delightfully deadpan dialogue, and an engaging cast of eccentrics--introspective cops, philosophical tramps, and a retired ace detective, Jim Snow, who, despite weaknesses for poker and pretty faces, still gambles on his fellow man. Mystery readers will want at least a dozen more books about this post-modern recession-era hero." -- Ruth Francisco, author of Good Morning, Darkness
