About This Audiobook
Master con artist Billy Cunningham returns to the neon-soaked streets of Las Vegas with his most ambitious scheme yet. After successfully pulling off heists at every major casino in the city, Billy assembles his trusted crew for a week-long masquerade as high-rolling VIPs, complete with exclusive suites and premium access. The elaborate ruse requires flawless execution and nerves of steel, but the potential payoff could set them up for life. However, Billy's carefully orchestrated plan faces deadly complications when professional killers put a price on his head and a vengeful former lover emerges from his past seeking revenge.
