It was a plush Vegas gambling joint with dice tables at the rear and a well-stacked stripper out front. The stripper’s name was Gabrielle and she played taps–for three corpses.
When Al Wheeler came on the scene he figured he’d hit it lucky. Because there was nothing he enjoyed more than a murder case that gave him a chance to get down to facts–bare facts. Free-wheeling Al Wheeler, the unorthodox cop, matches wits with a stripper and the syndicate in this racy thriller. And the stakes are high as he bets his life that he can beat a killer–at the game of murder.
