new crime tales of gambling and desperation

"Sin City. An artificial oasis of pleasure, spectacle, and entertainment, the gambling capital of America has reinvented itself so many times that it's doubtful that anyone knows for sure what's real and what isn't in the miles of neon and scorching heat. Las Vegas is considered the ultimate player's destination, no matter what your game. Almost anything is available-- for a price, mind you-- and sometimes losers will walk away fromt the tables with even less than just an empty wallet or purse; sometimes they don't walk away at all. Las Vegas is the true city that never sleeps, where fortunes are made and lost every day, and where snake-eyes aren't found just on a pair of dice."--Container
