A gritty tale of luck, danger, and decadence in Las Vegas by the New York Times–bestselling author: “Great fun.” —Publishers Weekly
Jack “Lucky” Riordan is anything but lucky. The illegitimate son of Howard Hughes, he and his mother are cast out of Las Vegas when Hughes learns of the pregnancy, only for Jack to return years later to make his fortune.
Jack might not have luck. But he has an eye for a quick con. His skills soon allow him to climb the ladder as head of security for one of Glitter Gulch’s most ruthless casinos, where cheating will get you jail, if you’re not crippled by security first.
Jack sees it all: the corruption of fast money, the ways his friends will stab him in the back for a shot at a jackpot, and the allure of women who will do anything to hit the big time.
But the big time in Vegas always comes at a cost . . . and Jack is about to learn the price of life in Sin City.

Meer oor die skrywer
Born in 1916 in New York City, Harold Robbins was a millionaire by the time he was twenty. He lost his fortune by speculating on the price of sugar before the outbreak of World War II. Later, his fabulously successful career as a novelist, with many of his books turned into movies, would once again make him incredibly wealthy. For many years, Robbins enjoyed the high life among the rich and famous; he owned a huge yacht and had houses on the French Riviera and in Beverly Hills. His novels often mirrored his own experiences and were often people with the characters he had met. He died at the age of eighty-one, survived by his wife, Jann, and his two daughters, Caryn and Andreana.
