Book Description
Jimmy Delaney is on another bad roll. His ex-wife is cranky. Burglars
clean out all the coins from the video poker machines at his saloon,
Jimmy D's. His accountant is missing - with all the bar's money. He
can't get a loan because the IRS has a lien on the joint and a rogue
revenue agent with a personal grudge is seizing Jimmy D's on Friday
unless he can come up with $50,000 in back taxes. Losing streaks in
Las Vegas can be the worst in the world. And then a mysterious woman
enters his life. A karma-spouting planet-charting colon-cleansing
floozy - the Dice Angel. Can Delaney save Jimmy D's with a supernaturally
hot hand at the crap tables at Luxor? Or does Lady Luck bite off,
chew up, and spit out another Las Vegas loser...
