A Novel of Las Vegas. 9.25"x6.25", 182 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. The rumor raced through the city of Las Vegas. An armored car had been robbed of three million dollars, not the paltry few thousand the press was reporting. Three million dollars of casino money. And the boys wanted it back. Bad. Terry Lasky, a one-time, long-ago assistant U.S. Attorney now eking out a living as a poker shill at Bob's Beer and Guns, could have cared less about a hijacking. He was sitting with four fives and a table full of losers. But before he could lay down his winning hand, Berkeley was at his side demanding to talk. Berkeley was one of the hijackers, and he was wounded and on the run. He managed to whisper something in Lasky's ear before being gunned down by cops sent by the boys in search of the stolen cargo. Now everyone in Vegas believes Lasky knows where the mob money is-making him a very marked man. There's never been a novel before that so accurately depicts the underside of the world's gambling capital. Where the wiseguys are fighting against being elbowed out by the corporate bottom-liners with Armani suits and blow-dried hair who want to turn Las Vegas into a Disney World with slot machines. Lasky inhabits a world of muggers on poker breaks and rock-and-roll writers turned preachers. There is the Rabbi Ike and Reverend Mike who run a traveling soup kitchen that serves Alsatian paste and venison roasted over a charcoal spit. And Bags, the ex-Yale professor of economics who had the misfortune of picking the wrong time to borrow a few thousand from a little foundation grant to cover some commodity shorts and was now being squeezed as a snitch by the feds. Where The Money Is is fast paced and gritty and along the way asks questions about the value of love, politics, loyalty, success, luck, and most of all money. A page-turner with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end.
