No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Nick Donahue, an American gambler living in London, is playing Blackjack in Venice when he meets a beautiful woman in desperate need of help. Nick obliges and is soon embroiled in a whirlwind of adventure, mystery, and intrigue.
He is kidnapped by jewel thieves then released and dumped in the woods outside Prague. Calling on his brother Alex - a banker at a Zurich bank - for assistance, Nick finds himself juggling Alex's problem: the murder of his boss and a world-wide money laundering scheme the bank has been running. When Nick blows the whistle on the bank's main client, the New York mob is none too happy with his interference and their loss of revenue. They demand revenge and restitution, which only Nick, with all of his gambling savvy, can provide.
From a Derringer Award winning author, this contemporary short mystery novel provides plot twists, terror, and just the right touch of humor.
