Book Overview

by Megan Abbott (Author)

From Megan Abbott, the "new Queen of noir" (Ken Bruen, author of American Skin), a thrillingly hardboiled novel about two women who must stay one step ahead of their bosses and each other in the ruthless world of nightclubs and casinos.

A young woman hired to keep the books at a down-at-the-heels nightclub is taken under the wing of the infamous Gloria Denton, a mob luminary who reigned during the era of Bugsy Siegel and Lucky Luciano. Notoriously cunning and ruthless, Gloria shows her eager young protégée the ropes, ushering her into a glittering realm of late-night casinos, racetracks, betting parlors, inside heists, and big, big money. Suddenly, the world is at her feet--as long as she doesn't take any chances...like falling for the wrong guy. As the roulette wheel turns, both mentor and protégée scramble to stay one step ahead of their bosses and each other.
