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.
