Sensing they've been followed, both head for the casino elevator, after tipping Becky with large bills. The Blackjack List is folded inside one of them. Peril looms. The chase begins. Being both the pursued AND pursuer is the double bind that confronts Becky Allison and Dr. David Baxter, her fiancé. Whatever they do risks their lives. Bad guys galore turn up everywhere during forty-eight frenetic hours of fleeing, chasing, and deciphering the treasure map -The Blackjack List.
